Given:
Scale factor of map is:
1 decimeter = 11.5 kilometers
The distance between M and N on the map is 235 decimeters.
To find:
The Actual distance between M and N.
Solution:
Scale factor of map is:
1 decimeter = 11.5 kilometers
Using this scale factor, we get
235 decimeter = 235 × 11.5 kilometers
235 decimeter = 2702.5 kilometers
235 decimeter = [tex]2702\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] kilometers
Therefore, the points M and N are [tex]2702\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] kilometers apart.
