Fill in the blanks in the following tables:

Scale:

scale of the map distance measured
on the map		 distance measured
on the ground		 percentage
change in
size of map*		 new scale
of the map**
1:175000 8.5 cm _ 125% _
1:345000 _ 7.9 km 200% _
_ 3.4 cm 27.5 km 80% _
1:25000000 31 mm _ _ 1:30000000
- 5.5 cm 22.5 km - 1:150000
1:400000 - 17.0 km 67% -
1:50000 55 mm - 120% -
1:100000 - 45 km - 1:50000

* the map is enlarged or reduced by the percentage shown.
** this is the scale of the map after that percentage change in size.
