The distance between two cities on a map is 13 cm. what is the actual distance between the cities if the map is drawn at a scale of 1: 50,000?

6.5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

1:50,000

13 cm on a map, multiply both sides by 13 which leaves us with:

13:650,000

However, we need to calculate the distance in kilometers, not centimeters. To do that, we have to divide 650,000 by 100,000 which leaves us with 6.5 km

step-by-step explanation:

you divide the denominator by the numerator on both sides and if the quotients are equal then the fractions are equivalent
