First, find the scale – it will be on the bottom of the map and look something like this:
Second, measure the distance using your ruler. It could be small distances as a river curves or a straight line between two points on the map.
Measure this length against the scale to work out the real life distance!
REMEMBER: A grid square is 1km across – this will help narrow down choices in a multiple choice question.
