That is called the "scale" of the map.

Sure thing, honey. If the map distance is 6 cm, the actual distance would be 63 km. If the map distance is 8.5 cm, the actual distance would be 89.25 km. Just multiply the map distance by 21 km and divide by 2 cm to get the actual distance. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
it is an indicator used to determine the distance on a paper and the actual distance on the ground.
To find the actual distance between the two cities, multiply the distance on the map (0.3 cm) by the scale factor (20 kilometers per centimeter). Thus, the actual distance is 0.3 cm × 20 km/cm = 6 kilometers. Therefore, the two cities are 6 kilometers apart.
18cm * 5km/3cm = 6*5 km = 30 km

A map scale.
The ratio of the distance on the map to the actual distance on the Earth's surface is called the scale of the map. It indicates how much smaller the features on the map are compared to their actual size on the ground.
Somewhere on a map there will be a scale. The scale will tell you the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. eg 1cm = 10km
To find out how far an inch on a map represents in actual distance, you would need to look for the map's scale. The scale of a map indicates the ratio between a unit of length on the map and the corresponding distance on the ground. Typically, the scale is provided in the map's legend or key. By using this scale, you can calculate the actual distance represented by an inch on the map.
The scale of a map may indicate the ratio as well as showing how lengths measured on the map represent actual distances.
The scale. a map scale **************************************** A map with a scale of 1:50 000 (ratio of 1 in 50,000) means that 1 centimetre measured on the map represnts 50,000 centimetres on the ground.
A verbal scale is a type of map scale that is unitless. It describes the relationship between distance on the map and actual distance on the Earth's surface in words rather than a ratio or graphic representation.
A map's scale measures distance. It provides a ratio of the map's distance to the actual distance on the ground. For example, a scale of 1:100,000 means that 1 unit on the map represents 100,000 units on the ground.

A Map Scale is a ratio which compares a measurement on a map to the actual distance between locations identified on the map.
Ratio scales and Bar scales are two scales that can determine the actual distance. Ratio scale is describes as the ratio of units in a smaller dimension. Bar scales make use of graphic lines to find the distance.
