On a map with a scale of 1: 1,000,000, the distance between two cities is 4.7 cm. What is this distance in reality?

If the scale is 1: 1,000,000, then 1 cm on the map will be 1,000,000 cm on the ground.

We translate cm to km.

1,000,000 cm = 10,000 m = 10 km.

It turns out that 1 cm on the map is 10 km on the ground.

Let’s find the distance between cities in reality, if it is 4.7 cm on the map.

4.7 * 10 = 47 km.

Answer: The distance between cities is 47 km.
