Dear Tulip,
1cm on the map = 400,000 cm
4,00,000cm= 4km.
Hope this helps

Re: GL Maths Pack 1 paper 2
For a child I would cut this up more
1 cm represents 400,000 cm
100 cm = 1 m
So
1 cm represents 4000 m
1000 m = 1 km
So
1 cm represents 4 km
1 cm represents 400,000 cm
100 cm = 1 m
So
1 cm represents 4000 m
1000 m = 1 km
So
1 cm represents 4 km
