The actual distance between two villages is 120 kilometers. on a map of the area, 1 centimeter represents 3 kilometers.

what is the distance between the villages on the map?

 40 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the distance between two villages on map.

We have been given that the actual distance between two villages is 120 kilometers.  On a map of the area, 1 centimeter represents 3 kilometers.

We will use proportions to find the distance between villages on the map as proportion states that two fractions are equal.

Upon substituting the actual distance between the two villages in our proportion we will get,

Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 120 km.

Therefore, the distance between two villages on the map is 40 cm.

a complex number is a number that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is a solution of the equation x2 = −1. because no real number satisfies this equation, i is called an imaginary number. has no real solution, since the square of a real number cannot be negative.
