To find the actual distance on the ground, we need to use the scale and the distance on the map to create a proportion:
1 km (100,000 cm) : 1,500 units on the map = x km : 500 cm
Cross-multiplying and solving for x, we get:
x = (500 cm x 1 km x 1,500) / (100,000 cm)
x = 7.5 km
Therefore, the actual distance on the ground is 7.5 km.
1 km (100,000 cm) : 1,500 units on the map = x km : 500 cm
Cross-multiplying and solving for x, we get:
x = (500 cm x 1 km x 1,500) / (100,000 cm)
x = 7.5 km
Therefore, the actual distance on the ground is 7.5 km.
