Fill in the Blanks

Solution

If actual distance between two places A and B is 110 km and it is represented on a map by 25 mm. Then the scale used is 1 : 4400000.

Explanation:

∵ Scale of map = `"Size drawn"/"Actual size"`

= `(25  mm)/(110  km)`

= `(25  mm)/(110000000)`   ...[∵ 1 km = 110000000 mm]

= `1/4400000`

Hence, the scale used is 1 : 4400000.
