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
