    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
