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.
