The <u>correct scale</u> is 1 in = 4 mi.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The scale tells us what a given measurement on the map equals in real-life distance.

The measurement on the map that we have is 2 inches, and it equals 8 miles:

2 in = 8 mi

This can also be written as 2/8. This fraction can be simplified, since both 2 and 8 are divisible by 2; it will simplify to 1/4. This is the same as
1 in = 4 mi.

Answer:

The correct scale is 1 inch = 4 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Map scale is defined as the ratio between the marked distance on a map to the corresponding distance on the ground.

Here, it is given that the measurement on the map is 2 inches, and it equals to 8 miles; so 2 inches = 8 miles

Simplifying this we get:

1 inch = 4 miles.

Hence, the scale is 1 inch equals 4 miles.
