Answer:
1. To work out the distance in real life, we need to multiply this length by 50000. This gives 3 cm × 50000 = 150000 cm which is 1500 m or 1.5 km. Alternatively, we could have just remembered that each 1 cm on the map is 0.5 km in real life. Hence, 3 cm on the map must be 3 × 0.5 km = 1.5 km in real life.
