Answer:

6 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale of a map is 1:10000

The real distance between two banks is 600 meters.

We are to find the distance between the two banks on the map.

This scale means that for every 1 meter on the map there are 10,000 meters on the real world.

So 600 meters on the real world would be represented by;

Cross-multiplying gives:

[tex]\frac{600}{10000} * 100 = 6[/tex] meters.

Answer:

0.06m or 6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale of the map is 1:10000

Therefore, distance in map/ distance in real = 1/10000

Let the distance between the two banks be x m in the map.

Therefore we get,

                                   x/600 = 1/10000

Therefore,

                                            x = 600/10000 m = 0.06m = 6cm
