(*Use R.F.)

10cm 5km

(7) Arrange the above scales from the smallest to the largest.

Scale III < Scale IV < Scale II < Scale I

Notes:

Solutions:

(1) 1cm to 10m 5 cm on map Actual distance = 5x10m = 50m

(2) 1cm to 10m = Distance on map to 85m Distance on map = 85m x 1cm / 10m 8.5cm

(3) 1:20 000 1cm to 20 000cm 1cm to 200m 2cm on map Actual distance = 2x200m=400m

(4) 1cm to 200m = Distance on map to 1km

Distance on map = 1cm x 1km/200m =1cm x1000m/200m = 5m

(5)3.5cm to 7km (3.5cm/3.5) to (7km/3.5) 1cm to 2km

(6) 10cm: 5km 10cm: 5 000m 10cm :500 000cm (10cm/10cm): (500000cm/10cm) 1:50 000

(7) Scale I is 1:1000; Scale II is 1:20 000; Scale III is 1:200 000; Scale IV is 1:50 000.

Since 1/200 000 < 1/50 000
