    The actual distance will be 12 km.

    Explanation:

    The scale of the map is 1:250000

    1 cm in the map represents 250000 cm.

    250000cm=2500 m=2.5 km

    the measurement in the map is 4.8 cm

    since 1 cm represents 250000 cm or 2.5 km

    The actual distance represented by 4.8 cm on the map = 4.8*250000 cm = 1,200,000 cm=12000 m=12 km
