Answer:
The cities are 35 cm apart in map.
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale on a map is 5 cm : 8 km.
[tex]\texttt{Scale = }\frac{5cm}{8km}\\\\\texttt{Scale = }\frac{5cm}{8\times 100000cm}=\frac{5}{800000}[/tex]
Now we need to find how much is the distance in map if the original distance is 56 km.
Distance in map = Scale x Original distance
[tex]\texttt{Distance in map = }\frac{5}{800000}\times 56km=\frac{5\times 5600000cm}{800000}=35cm[/tex]
The cities are 35 cm apart in map.
