Answer:
The two towns are 7 cm apart on the map.
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale of the map is 1cm : 19km
We want to find far apart greenwood and Marion are on the map, given that they are 133km apart.
Let the two towns be x cm apart on the map.
We use proportion, to find x.
The distance on the map that corresponds to 133km on the ground should be more than 1 cm.
If more, then less divides,
This implies that:
[tex]x = \frac{133km \times 1cm}{19km} [/tex]
[tex]x = 7cm[/tex]
