A scale on a map shows that 2.5 centimetres represents 15 kilometres what number of actual kilometres are represented by 17.5 centimetres on the map

Respuesta :

Answer:

105km

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, the scale is

2.5 cm = 15km

Therefore,

17.5 cm = x

We Cross Multiply

2.5cm × x = 15km × 17.5 cm

x = 15km × 17.5cm/2.5

x = 262.5/2.5

x = 105 km

Therefore, the number of actual kilometres that are represented by 17.5 centimetres on the map is 105 kilometres.
