You will have to check the legend of the map to determine what the ratio of Centimeters to Kilometers on your particular map is. Maps come in different sizes and ratios. The ratio is usually found somewhere at the bottom of the map.
For example: 10 centimeters could mean 10 kilometers on one map and 100 kilometers on another map.

A map scale of 1:175 000 means that 1 centimetre on the map represent 175,000 centimetres on the ground.
If a map scale reads 1 centimeter equals 5 kilometers how many kilometers does 3 centimeters represent?
Each cm represents 5 km → 3 × 1 cm : 3 × 5 km → 3 cm : 15 km 3 cm represents 15 km.

4880/2000 = 2.44 Therefore, working on the same scale, a distance of 4880 kilometres would be translated on the map as 2.44 centimetres.
