Answer:
[tex]The[/tex] [tex]map[/tex] [tex]is[/tex] [tex]using[/tex] [tex]a[/tex] [tex]1cm:125 m[/tex] [tex]scale[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure this out, we must use the scale of the map as a unit.
So we first figure out how many meters are for each centimeter on the map.
" Two fields at a state park are fields are 8 centimeters ap(?)ta state park are 1,000 meters from each other."
Set up the ratio:
[tex]\frac{1000}{8} = \frac{x}{1}[/tex]
Cross multiply:
[tex]8x[/tex] = [tex]1000[/tex]
Meaning:
[tex]x = \frac{1000}{8}[/tex]
1000/8
==> 125
x = 125
Meaning that for every centimeter there is 125 meters
1cm = 125m
