Question:
A map has a scale of 1 centimeter : 8 kilometers. Use the given actual distance to find the distance on the map.
4 km

Answer:
The scale says, i centimeter = 8 kilometers.


Or you can say that, 8 Km = 1 cm


==> 1km = 1%2F8 cm.


==> 4 km = +4%2A+%281%2F8%29 cm.

==> 4 km = +%284%2A1%29%2F8%29 cm.

==> 4 km = +4%2F8 cm.


==> 4 km = 1%2F2 cm.


==> 4 km = 0.5 cm.

Hope you found the explanation useful.
