Answer:
The distance from Alburry to Wagga wagga on the map is 52 centimetres
Explanation:
The parameters given are
Actual distance between Alburry and Wagga wagga = 130 km.
130 km = 13,000,000 cm
Scale of map = 1:250000
Therefore;
1 unit on the map is equivalent to 250000 units in real measurements
Hence;
[tex]130 \, km \equiv \dfrac{130 \, km}{250000} = \dfrac{130 \times 1000 \times 100 \, cm}{250000} = \dfrac{13,000,000 \, cm}{250000} = 52 \, cm[/tex]
Therefore, on the map, Alburry and Wagga wagga are 52 cm. apart.
