The real distance fro the shop to the store is 24 km
Solution:
Given that, Jakes map shows the distance from the bake stars cafe to the restaurant supply store as 3 centimeter
Scale of the map is 1 centimeter to 8 kilometers
Therefore, scale is:
[tex]1\ centimeter : 8\ kilometer[/tex]
Let "x" be the real distance from the shop to the store
Then by proportion, we get,
[tex]\frac{1\ centimeter}{8\ kilometer} = \frac{3\ centimeter}{x\ kilometer}\\\\\frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{x}\\\\x = 3 \times 8\\\\x = 24[/tex]
Thus real distance fro the shop to the store is 24 km
