Fill in the blanks to make the statements true:

If actual distance between two places A and B is 110 km and it is represented on a map by 25 mm. Then the scale used is ………….. .

In such problems, it is necessary to convert the given quantities into the same unit. For simplicity, let us convert the actual distance given in kilometres to millimetres.

110km = 110000000mm


Therefore Scale = 110000000mm/25mm = 4400000


So, the scale will be 4400000:1
