One Geographical skills question with explanations

Open a question, choose an answer in your head, then open the explanation.

Q1 Map interpretation

On a 1:25,000 map, two points are 6 cm apart in a straight line. Calculate the ground distance and show the conversion.

4 marks

Show a model answer

Model answer. At 1:25,000, 1 cm represents 25,000 cm, or 250 m. Therefore 6 cm represents 6 × 250 m = 1,500 m, which is 1.5 km.
