Describe a route you could drive to get from Albany to Margaret River.

  1. Locate Albany and Margaret River on the map.

  2. Identify a series of roads connecting these two points, passing through intermediate towns.

    A possible route from Albany to Margaret River is to drive west through Denmark, then continue west to Walpole. From Walpole, head north-west to Manjimup. From Manjimup, drive west to Pemberton, then north-west to Augusta, and finally north to Margaret River.

Determine the scale of the map in simplified ratio form.

  1. Measure the length of the scale bar representing 100 kilometres on the map.

    The scale bar representing 100 kilometres100 \text{ kilometres} measures approximately 2.5 cm2.5 \text{ cm} on the map.

  2. Convert the actual distance to the same units as the map distance (centimetres).

    100 km=100×1000 m=100,000 m100 \text{ km} = 100 \times 1000 \text{ m} = 100,000 \text{ m} 100,000 m=100,000×100 cm=10,000,000 cm100,000 \text{ m} = 100,000 \times 100 \text{ cm} = 10,000,000 \text{ cm}
  3. Write the scale as a ratio of map distance to actual distance and simplify.

    Scale=2.5 cm:10,000,000 cm\text{Scale} = 2.5 \text{ cm} : 10,000,000 \text{ cm}

    Divide both sides by 2.5:

    2.52.5:10,000,0002.5\frac{2.5}{2.5} : \frac{10,000,000}{2.5} Scale=1:4,000,000\text{Scale} = 1 : 4,000,000

    The scale of the map in simplified ratio form is 1:4,000,000\boxed{1:4,000,000}.
