Respuesta :

Answer:

x = 24 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Distance from Cafe to store on map d' = 3 cm

- The scale of map = 1 cm : 8 km

Find:

what is the real distance from the shop to the store?

Solution:

- We can use direct proportions to evaluate the actual distance from Cafe to the store as follows:

                              1 cm --------------> 8 km

                              3 cm --------------> x

- The actual distance x is as follows:

                              x = 8 km * 3 cm / 1 cm

                              x = 24 km

- Hence, the actual distance from Bake Stars Cafe to the restaurant supply store is 24 km.
