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 — that gives the real distance in centimetres. Then divide by 100 to convert to metres.
