Given:
Distance between two villages = 14 km
Map scale = 1:25000
To find:
The distance between the two villages on the map.
Solution:
Let the distance between the two villages on the map be x.
Map scale is 1:25000. So,
[tex]\dfrac{x}{14}=\dfrac{1}{25000}[/tex]
[tex]x=\dfrac{1}{25000}\times 14[/tex]
[tex]x=0.00056[/tex]
Therefore, the two villages are 0.00056 km apart on map.
