800 km is a flying distance. What is the scale factor if this distance on the map is 5 cm? Hint: 1 km = 100000 cm.
The scale factor is a number without units that represents the relationship between the model's dimension and the corresponding dimension of the actual figure. Using the conversion of 1 km = 100000 cm, we have:
5cm800km=5cm80000000cm=116000000
