The scale on a map is 1 : 10000

a)

Dalton is 18 cm from Evebury on the map.

How many km is Dalton from Evebury in real life?

b)

Sudford is 23 km from Towerton in real life.

How many cm will they be apart on the map?

1.8 km, 230 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If the scale is 1 : 10,000, we will need to multiply the scaled lengths by 10,000.

A) 18 cm x 10,000 = 180,000 cm

180,000 cm / 100,000 = 1.8 km

B) 23 km x 100,000 = 2,300,000 cm

2,300,000 cm / 10,000 = 230 cm
