Question : 112 of 150
Marks: +1, -0
The scale of map is given as 1:250000. Two cities are 6 cm apart on the map. Then the actual distance between them is ______
Solution:  
Concept:
Map scale relates map distance to actual distance.
Explanation:
The scale of the map tells us that 1 unit on the map represents 250000 units in reality. Here, the units are centimeters.
So, 1 cm on the map represents 250000 cm in actual distance.
We are given that the distance between two cities on the map is 6 cm.
To find the actual distance, we multiply the map distance by the scale factor:
Actual distance = Map distance × Scale factor
Actual distance = 6 cm × 250000
Actual distance = 1500000 cm
Now, we need to convert this distance from centimeters to kilometers. We know that 1 kilometer (km) is equal to 100000 centimeters (cm).
To convert cm to km, we divide by 100000.
Actual distance in km = 1500000 cm100000 cm/km\frac{1500000 \text{ cm}}{100000 \text{ cm/km}}
Actual distance in km = 15 km
Answer:
15 Km
