Map of a city uses the scale 1 cm equals 50 m. on the map, south street is 25 cm long. if there is a traffic cone at the start of south street and a cone every 10 m along the road, how many traffic cones are there in all?

125 traffic cones

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the total number of meters, we can set up a proportion to find based on the ration of cm to m:

, where 'x' is the number of meters

cross-multiply: x = 25(50) or x = 1250 m

Since there is a cone every 10 m, we can divide the total number of meters by 10:

1250/10 = 125 cones
