Answer 1

Answer:

8 km

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, the scale of a map says that 8 cm represents 5 km. We need  to find the  actual number of kilometers that is represented by 5 centimeters on the map.

8 cm = 5 km

1 cm = (8/5) km

For 5 cm, multiply (8/5) km by 5.

So,

x = 8 km

So, 8 km is represented by 5 centimeters on the map.
