The scale of a map is 1:4 000 000. Hint: 1:4 000 000 means that 1cm on the map = 4 000 000 on the ground. The distance between Leeds and London on this map is 8.125cm. Calculate the actual distance between Leeds and London. Give your answer in kilometres.

325 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the scale :

1 : 4 ,000, 000

1cm measure in map = 4000000 on the ground

From the map :

Distance between Leeds and London = 8.125 cm

The actual distance on ground can be calculated thus :

1cm = 4,000,000

8.125cm = x

Cross multiply

x = 32500000 cm

Converting to kilometers :

1 km = 100,000 cm

x = 32500000

Cross multiply

100,000x = 32500000

x = 32500000 / 100000

x = 325

Hence, actual distance between Leeds and London is 325 km

the answer to this question is yes
