Answer:

64 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that when you are converting scales from maps to reality you just need to do a simple rule of three, in this case if 2 cm are equal to 8 kilommeters, how many kilometers will 16 cm be?

[tex]\frac{2cm}{8km}=\frac{16cm}{x}\\ x=\frac{16cm*8km}{2cm}\\x=\frac{128cm*km}{2cm}\\ x=64km[/tex]

So the answer will be that 16 cm in the map will be 64 kilometers.
