Answer:

8 km

Explanation:

Scale is defined as the ratio between the distance on a 2D map and the distance on the actual ground surface. It is very widely used in the maps in order to identify the size of the area, as well as the distance between any two places.

In the given question, it says that 3 centimeters in the map represents 4 kilometers in the actual ground.

So, it can be concluded that 6 centimeters in the map corresponds to 8 kilometers in the actual ground.

The towns are 8 kilometers apart because as you see 6 centimeters equal 2 of the 3 centimeters which means that you add four twice or times it by 2 to get 8

Many times a map scale will show distances in both miles and
fiasKO [112]

The correct answer is - kilometers.

Very often, the map scale is showing distances in both miles and kilometers. The reason for this that the majority of the countries in the world use the metric system, thus the kilometers are a must, but also there countries that do not use this system, thus they include the miles. In this way, the map scale can be used by people that both use and not use the metric system in their daily lives.

The map scale is a very important element on the maps. Its purpose is to enable the reader of the map to be able to measure the distance from one place to another, thus to be aware of the real distance in the real space.
