Question

the school and library is 80 m. on a map, the distance between the school and the library is 4 cm. what is the scale of this map?

Explanation:

Step1: Convert real - life distance to cm

Since 1 m = 100 cm, 80 m = 80×100 = 8000 cm.

Step2: Calculate the scale

The scale is the ratio of the map distance to the real - life distance. The map distance is 4 cm and the real - life distance is 8000 cm. So the scale is 4:8000, which simplifies to 1:2000.

Answer:

1:2000
