Tatum Rowe · Answer 1

10 km

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4 cm represents 8 kilometers then 1 cm represents;

8 / 4

= 2

1 cm : 2 km

How, then, about 5 cm - the distance between Sophie's home and school?

5 cm : ? km

A cross multiplication;

1 cm : 2 km

5 cm : x km

(5 * 2) = 1 x

x = 10/1

x = 10
