Chapter 11.4, Problem 24E

To determine

To find:the actual distance.

Answer to Problem 24E

The actual distance of 5 mmon a map is $12.5$ kilo meters

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

A scale of $1$ centimeter:25 kilometres in a map.

Calculation:

If 1 cm on a map is equal to an actual distance of 25 kilometers

Then, 5mm is equal to $\frac{5}{10}=0.5\text{ cm }\left[\text{divide}\right]$ ,will mean of actual distance of $0\cdot 5\cdot 25=12.5\text{ kilometers }\left[\text{multiply}\right]$

Hence, the actual distance of 5 mm on a map is $12.5$ kilo meters
