Chapter 6.6, Problem 13E

To determine

To find:The actual distance from the map scale

Answer to Problem 13E

The actual distance will be 55 kilometres

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

Consider, the map distance 11centimeters

Calculation:

To find the answer use cross product of property and simplify the equation,

Assume $x$ be the actual distance.

Therefore,

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{5}=\frac{11}{\text{x}}\\ \text{x = 5}\times 11\\ \text{x = 55}\end{array}$

Therefore, the actual distance will be 55 kilometres
