Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

A map has a scale of 1 : 50 000. Two towns are 7 cm apart on the map. What is the actual distance between the two towns?

  1. 3.5 km
  2. 7 km
  3. 35 km
  4. 350 km
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A3.5 km
5 km). Award 1 mark for correct answer. Actual distance = 7 × 50 000 = 350 000 cm = 3500 m = 3.5 km. B is incorrect — fails to multiply by scale factor. C is incorrect — converts cm to km incorrectly (forgets to divide by 100 000). D is incorrect — treats the 50 000 as metres instead of cm.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

An architect draws a plan of a rectangular room. The scale used is 1 : 200. The actual room measures 8 m by 6 m. What are the dimensions of the room on the plan?

  1. 4 cm by 3 cm
  2. 8 cm by 6 cm
  3. 16 cm by 12 cm
  4. 40 cm by 30 cm
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A4 cm by 3 cm
Award 1 mark for correct answer. Convert actual dimensions to cm: 800 cm by 600 cm. Divide by scale: 800 ÷ 200 = 4 cm and 600 ÷ 200 = 3 cm. B is incorrect — uses metres directly without conversion. C is incorrect — multiplies by 2 instead of dividing by 200. D is incorrect — divides by 20 instead of 200.
