A map uses a scale of 1:100 000.

If a road is 5 km long, how long will it be on the map?

6 answers

x/5 = 1/100,000 km
a scale of 1:100 000 means
1 cm on map = 100,000 cm in real world, or
1 inch on map = 100,000 inches real world, or
1 zootos on map = 100,000 zootos in the real world, whatever a zooto is

if no units are stated, such as in this scale, you can insert any unit, as long as the units are the same.

1 cm : 100,000 cm
= 1 cm : 1000 m , there are 100 cm in 1 metre
= 1 cm : 1 km , there are 1000 m in 1 km
= 5 cm : 5 km

so 5 km in real roads would be 5 cm on your map
100000
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "100000". Can you please provide more context or information?
Answer:5cm
The answer is 5 cm:)
