Map Scale Aerial Distance

On the map, at a scale of 1:1100000, the aerial distance between Martin and Brezno measures 5.5 cm. Calculate the aerial distance covered by the helicopter when it flies from Martin to Brezno and back.

Final Answer:

x =  60.5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=5.5\text{cm}\to \text{m}=5.5:100\text{m}=0.055\text{m} \\ {a}_2=a\to \text{km}=a:1000\text{km}=0.055:1000\text{km}=6.0\cdot 10^{-5}\text{km} \\ M=1100000 \\ x=a_2\cdot M=0.0001\cdot 1100000=60.5\text{km} \end{gathered}$$
