If two cities on a map are 8 cm apart. if the map's scale is 2 cm 1 km how far are the cities apart in reality?

4 kilometres.
Every 2 centimetres you will have travelled 1 kilometre. As 2 goes into 8 four times we have 4 kilometres.

On a map scale how many miles would 2.5 inches equal?
It depends on the scale to which the map has been drawn. Not all maps are the same scale.
Why can scale models maps and diagrams accurately communicate scientific knowledge?
The proportions of a map, model, or diagram match the proportions of the real object, scale models, maps, and diagrams can accurately communicate scientific knowledge.
Why is scale important in models and maps?
It shows the distance a certain measurement equals on a map.
How to do scale models and maps?
The scale on a map or blueprint is a ratio. Ingredients sometimes need to be mixed using ratios such as the ratio of water to cement mix when making cement.
What is the area in square inches of the map?
It depend on the scale of the map. In the UK, Ordnance Survey maps are in metric, though miles and inches are also shown on the scale bar. A popular map scale is 1:50 000 which means that 1 cm on the map represents 50,000 cm on the ground. It is still possible to find the old 1" to 1 mile maps by searching on the internet.
What is the difference large scale and small scale maps?
Large scale maps are enlarged maps to show cities and sometimes small towns. Small scale maps are maps shrunken down only to show countries and continents. -The person-
What is the difference between large-scale maps and small-scale maps?

What is the actual distance between two cities that are 14 cm apart on the map?
The actual distance between two cities cannot be determined accurately based on a map scale alone. Maps use a scale to represent real distances, so you would need to know the scale of the map to calculate the actual distance between the two cities.
What determains the distance on a map?
Apart from sketch maps, maps are to scale. The distance on a map is a ratio of the distance in the real world.
How many types of maps are there according to scale?
There are three main types of maps according to scale: small scale maps, medium scale maps, and large scale maps. Small scale maps show a large area with less detail, medium scale maps cover a moderate area with more detail, and large scale maps provide detailed information for a small area.
Why must a map have a scale?
Maps need a scale so that people can see how far things are apart on the map and relate this distance to real distances on the ground.
1inch equals 5miles and map b 1inch equals 2miles?
Simple, you're dealing with two diferently scaled maps. Topographic maps are drawn to scale. This means that distances on a map are proportional to distances on the ground. For example, if two cities 20 miles apart are shown 4 inches apart on a map, then any other locations that are 4 inches apart on the map are also 20 miles apart. This proportion, the map scale, is constant for the map so it holds for any points on the map. In this example the proportion between equivalent distances on the map and on the ground is expressed as a scale of 1 inch = 5 miles, that is 1 inch on the map is equal to 5 miles on the ground. The simplest form of map scale is a VERBAL SCALE. A verbal scale just states what distance on a map is equal to what distance on the ground, i.e. 1 inch = 5 miles from the example above. Though verbal scales are easy to understand, you usually will not find them printed on topographic maps. Other types of scale used are the fractional scale and the bar scale. In the case of your question, 1in = 5miles equates roughly to a fractional scale of 1:312,500 and 1in = 2miles equates roughly to a fractional scale of 1:125,000
What are the three map scales?
The three map scales are small scale, medium scale, and large scale. Small scale maps cover large areas with less detail, medium scale maps cover regions with more detail, and large scale maps cover smaller areas with the most detail.
Is Galway Ireland part of the UK?
Galway is a county and a city on the west coast of Ireland. Dublin is a county and a city on the east coast of Ireland. So Galway is not in Dublin. The two cities are about 130 miles or 207 kilometres apart. The counties that the cities are in, are a bit closer. See the maps below.

Where can one find world capital cities?
World capital cities can be found on maps or on things such as google maps, which shows up to date maps of all major cities and will show a person where the capitols are.
How is a small scale maps and large scale maps similar?
Small scale maps and large scale maps both represent geographic features and locations. They differ in the level of detail they provide; small scale maps show a larger area with less detail, while large scale maps show a smaller area with more detail. Both types are used for navigation and spatial analysis.
