Use the map scale and the measured distance to compute the real distance. Give your answer in metres.

Scale: 1 : 1000

Real distance: m

What does this generator do?

The generator shows a map with two points A and B, the distance between them on the map in centimetres, and a scale (e.g., 1:1000). Your job is to compute the real distance in metres.

How to solve it

Multiply the map distance (in cm) by the second number in the scale β€” that gives the real distance in centimetres. Then divide by 100 to convert to metres.
