# Two monuments

The distance between two historical monuments on a map with a scale of 1: 500000 is 48 mm. Find the actual distance between these monuments in km.

Correct result:

x =  24 km

#### Solution:

$M=500000 \ \\ a=48 \ mm \rightarrow m=48 / 1000 \ m=0.048 \ m \ \\ b=a \rightarrow km=a / 1000 \ km=0.048 / 1000 \ km=5.0 \cdot 10^{-5} \ km \ \\ \ \\ x=M \cdot \ b=500000 \cdot \ 0=24 \ \text{km}$

Our examples were largely sent or created by pupils and students themselves. Therefore, we would be pleased if you could send us any errors you found, spelling mistakes, or rephasing the example. Thank you!
