Returning to Page 10 and to Fig. 5.2 in Chapter 5 of this textbook, taking the scale to be 2.5 cm = 500 km, calculate the real distance from the estuary of the Narmada River to the estuary of the Ganga River.
(Hint: round off your measurement on the map to an easy number.)
The measurement between the estuary of the Narmada River and the estuary of the Ganga River is 10 cm.
So, 10/2.5 = 4
Then, 500 km × 4 = 2000 km
The real distance from the estuary of the Narmada River to the estuary of the Ganga River is 2000 km.
