A map has the scale 1 : 200,000 and the distance between two villages on the map is 8 cm. What is the distance in metres between the towns in real life?

The distance in metres between the towns in real life is 1600000 meters

How to determine the distance in real life?

The scale ratio is given as:

Scale = 1 cm : 200000 m

The map distance of 8cm implies that:

8 cm : Real = 1 cm: 200000 m

Express as fraction

Real/8 = 200000 m/1

Multiply both sides by 8

Real = 1600000 m

Hence, the distance in metres between the towns in real life is 1600000 meters
