Answer:

16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

the scale of the map

[tex]2 cm: 8 km.[/tex]

Step two:

so if a scale of 2 cm represents 8 km.

       then let xcm be 64km

cross multiply we have

[tex]x*8= 64*2[/tex]

8x= 128

divide both sides by 8

[tex]x= 128/8\\\\x=16cm[/tex]

The map distance is 16cm
