The scale on a map is 1 cm : 4 km. if two cities are 16 cm apart on the map, what is the actual distance between the cities?

64 kilometers between the cities.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this you just have to do a rule of three between the rate of 1cm: 4 kilometers, with the distance of the 16 centimeters that they are apart in the map with the next equation:

So the answer is that the cities will be 64 kilometers apart from one another in reality.

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
