question_answer 2)

Look at the Figure. There is a scale. It may be used for measuring distance between places. For example the distance between the well and the tree is 5 cm. It means that the actual distance is 50 metres. Now the distance between the PO (A) to Karim's house (E) is 12 cm. It means 120 metres on the ground but you can not fly like a bird directly from E to A. You will have to walk on the road. Let us measure the total walking distance from E to C, then C to M, M to B and B to A. Add all these distances. This will be the total walking distance from Karim's house to the post office.

Answer:

Distance from E to C = 4.5 cm Distance from C to M = 3.0 cm Distance from M to B = 2.0 cm Distance from B to A = 2.0 cm Now, total walking distance from Karim’s house to the post office = total distance =(4.5+3.0+2.0+2.0) cm= 11.5 cm =11.5x 10 m     [ therefore from scale 1 cm=10m]
