Question : 15

Total: 80

Solution:

Concept:

Map scale shows the relationship between a map measurement and the actual ground distance.

Explanation:

The scale is

2\text{ cm}

on the map =

1\text{ km}

on the ground.

The distance between the towns on the map is

20\text{ cm}

Find how many scale units fit into the map distance:

\frac{20\text{ cm}}{2\text{ cm}} = 10

Multiply this by the ground distance per unit:

10 \times 1\text{ km} = 10\text{ km}

Answer:

10\text{ km}
