2 On a map where 1 cm stands for 50 m, write the real length of a path drawn 4 cm, and the drawn length of a path that is really 250 m.
Show worked solution
4 × 50 = 200 m; 250 ÷ 50 = 5 cm.
3 A map square is 100 m across. How many metres is 3 squares?

Show worked solution
Row 2 to row 4 is 2 squares down, which is south (1 ✓) and 200 m (2 ✓). Both are in column C, so neither is east of the other (3 ✗). 1 and 2.
8 On a map 1 cm stands for 50 m. A walker follows a path drawn 6 cm and then another drawn 4 cm. Write the real length of each in metres, and the total.
Show worked solution
6 × 50 = 300 m and 4 × 50 = 200 m, so 500 m altogether.
9 A map square is 100 m across. A walker goes 4 squares east and then 3 squares east again. How many metres have they walked?
Show worked solution
