# Map reading puzzles, sentence 2

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
The scale turns map centimetres into real distances: on a map where 1 centimetre is 2 kilometres, a path of 5 centimetres is 10 kilometres; walking about 4 kilometres an hour, that takes two and a half hours.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** scale, 1 centimetre, path, hour · **What happens:** turn, be, walk, take · **To what, where:** map centimetres, 2 kilometres, 10 kilometres

<!-- .vabout -->
This is a sentence of the lesson «Map reading puzzles» of the world course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (scale, 1 centimetre, path, hour), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
