Find the numerical scale of the map if the length of the segment on the map is 2 cm and on the ground 6 km.

To solve this problem, remember that the scale shows: how many times each line. plotted on the map, reduced in relation to its actual dimensions on the ground. Therefore, a scale of 1: 20,000 means that 1 km on the map corresponds to 200,000 km on the ground. Let’s convert kilometers to centimeters. 1 kilometer = 100,000 centimeters.
6 km = 600,000 centimeters.
Let’s calculate the scale of the map.
600,000 / 2 = 300,000.
Answer: 1: 300,000.
