What is the scale if: 50 km in the actual distance correspond to 4 cm on the map?

The scale is  1 cm: 12.5 km

To get this answer, you start off with the ratio 4 cm: 50 km which is given to us. It means that 4 cm corresponds to 50 km.

Divide both parts of the ratio by 4

4/4 = 1

50/4 = 12.5

The ratio 4 cm: 50 km simplifies to 1 cm: 12.5 km

1 cm on paper represents 12.5 km in real life.
