Answer:

The cities are 35 cm apart in map.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale on a map is 5 cm : 8 km.

$\texttt{Scale = }\frac{5cm}{8km}\\\\\texttt{Scale = }\frac{5cm}{8\times 100000cm}=\frac{5}{800000}$

Now we need to find how much is the distance in map if the original distance is 56 km.

Distance in map = Scale x Original distance

$\texttt{Distance in map = }\frac{5}{800000}\times 56km=\frac{5\times 5600000cm}{800000}=35cm$

The cities are 35 cm apart in map.
