Respuesta :

The distance between the villages on the map is 30 centimeters.

To calculate the distance between the villages on the map, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • Dm = Dv(R.F).............. equation 1

Where:

  • Dm = Distance on the map
  • Dv = Distance between the villages
  • R.F = Representative fraction

From the question,

Given:

  • Dv = 120 kilometer
  • R.F = 0.5/2 = 1/4

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • Dm = 120(1/4)
  • Dm = 30 centimeter

Hence, The distance between the villages on the map is 30 centimeters.
