Scale of the map

Determine the scale of the map if the actual distance between A and B is 720 km and distance on the map is 20 cm.

Result

M =  3600000

Solution:

M=1:X X=720⋅1000⋅100 cm/20 cm X=3600000 M1:3600000M = 1: X \ \\ X = 720\cdot 1000\cdot 100 \ cm/ 20 \ cm \ \\ X = 3600000 \ \\ M 1:3600000
