We have that the distance on the map (in centimeters) represents an actual distance of 8 kilometers
x=12.8cm
From the question we are told
The scale of a map says that 8 cm represents 5 km. What distance on the map (in centimeters) represents an actual distance of 8 kilometers?
Generally the equation for the statement is mathematically given as
8cm=5km
x=8km
Therefore
[tex]x=\frac{8*8}{5}\\\\x=64//5\\\\x=12.8cm[/tex]
Therefore
the distance on the map (in centimeters) represents an actual distance of 8 kilometers
x=12.8cm
