Given the map scale is 1 cm = 50 km, and the distance on the map between two places is 3 cm, we can calculate the actual distance.

Calculation:

  • Map distance: 3 cm
  • Scale: 1 cm = 50 km

Multiply the map distance by the scale factor:
3 cm * 50 km/cm = 150 km

Answer: The actual distance between the two locations is 150 km.
