Given:
Distance between the starting and finish line = 3 Km
Scale measurement:
2cm = 1 Km
Using the scale measurement, we can find the distance on a map.
Let x be distance on a map. We can write the conversion to be:
[tex]x\text{ =}\frac{2\operatorname{cm}}{1Km}\text{ }\times3Km[/tex]Cancelling out:
[tex]x\text{ = }6\operatorname{cm}[/tex]Hence, the distance between the starting line and the finish line on a map is 6cm
Answer:
6cm
