Question

Kylie’s house is 7 cm from Noldon City on a map. 1 cm on the map represents 50 km. What is the real distance between Kylie’s house and Noldon City?

Answer 1

To find the real distance between Kylie’s house and Noldon City, we need to use the scale provided on the map.

1 cm on the map represents 50 km in reality. Therefore, we can use this ratio to determine the real distance.

Kylie’s house is 7 cm from Noldon City on the map.

Now, we multiply the distance on the map by the scale factor:

\[
7 \, \text{cm} \times 50 \, \text{km/cm} = 350 \, \text{km}
\]

So, the real distance between Kylie’s house and Noldon City is 350 kilometers.
