Verified by Experts

Scaling of map in cm `= 1:4000000`
Distance between two places in map ` = 3cm`
`:.` Actual distance between these two places ` = 3**4000000 = 12000000cm`
We can convert it into `km` by dividing it by `10^5`.
Actual distance between these two places in km `= 12000000/10^5 = 120 km`
