A map has a scale of 1cm to 120km.

Question

On the map, the distance between Paris and London is 2.9cm.
What is the real distance, in km, between Paris and London?

Answer 1

To find the real distance between Paris and London, we can use the scale of 1cm to 120km.

First, we need to convert the distance on the map to real distance:

1cm on the map = 120km in reality

Therefore, 2.9cm on the map = 2.9 * 120 = 348km

So, the real distance between Paris and London is 348km.
