Express the scale of the map as a Representative Fraction or RF. Show your work (rem with 1 as the numerator and a larger number as the denominator) If the distance between two cities A and B is 5 cm on a 1:500,000 scale map, what is the actual/ ground distance between the two cities in kilometers? Show your work 1) ember the RF is a unit-less ratio 2) For unit conversion help, go to http://www.onlineconversion.com/length_common.htm

Explanation / Answer

1. 100 yards on the ground represented by 0.5 in on the map. Thus 3600 Inches is represented by 0.5 inches. (1 yard = 35 in, so 100 yard = 3600 in).

thus, the representative fraction is 0.5/3600 or 1:7200.

2. Scale of the map is 1:500,000.

Thus 5 cm on the map must be equal to 5*500000 or 2500000 cm in actual scale or 25 km.

Thus the distance between the two cities is 25 km.
