A scale on a map shows that 2.52, 5 centimeters = 15 kilometers. What number of actual kilometers are represented by 17.5 centimeters on the map?

Respuesta :

Hello!

You have to find what 1 centimeter is on the map

15 / 5 = 3

A centimeter is 3 kilometers

Multiply this by how many centimeters you are measuring on the map

3 * 17.5 = 52.5

The answer is 52.5 kilometers

Hope this helps!
