Foundation November 2024 Paper 2 Q15
15 A map has a scale of 1 : \(25\,000\)
On the map, a road has a length of 14 cm.
Work out the real length of the road.
Give your answer in kilometres. (3)
| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| 3.5 | M1 | for a correct first step, eg \(14 \times 25\,000\ (= 350\,000)\) or digits 14 \(\times\) digits 25 or \(25\,000 \div 100\,000\ (= 0.25)\) oe or \(14 \div 100\,000\ (= 0.00014)\) or [distance] \(\div\ 100\,000\) |
| M1 | for a complete method, eg \(\text{``}350\,000\text{''} \div 100\,000\) oe or \(\text{``}0.25\text{''} \times 14\) or \(\text{``}0.00014\text{''} \times 25\,000\) | |
| A1 | for 3.5 oe |
Additional guidance
[distance] is any calculated value using digits 14 and digits 25
