Given:

Ratio scale on a map= 5 cm : 1km

Find the distance of two cities in the map if they are 8km apart.

Solution:

Since it is given that 1km is equal to 5 cm in the map, we multiply 8 km by 5 cm to determine the distance of two cities in the map.

= (8)(5)

= 40 cm

The distance of two cities in the map is equal to 40 cm.
