Leave the values in ratio form.
Actual distance : Distance on map
500km : 5cm
According to the question, the distance between the cities is 8cm on the map so we write it down as a ratio.
500km : 5cm
?km : 8cm
To find the actual distance, we can use the L-method. This means that 500km is multiplied with 8cm; the result is then divided by 5cm.
(500 × 8) ÷ 5 = 800
Hence, the actual distance is 800km if the cities are 8cm apart on the map.
