So firstly, we have to convert 6.5 cm into km. Do this by multiplying 6.5 by 8:


6.5* 8=52\ \textsf{km}

Next, we have to convert km to miles. Do this by multiplying 52 by 0.621:


52* 0.621=32.292\ \textsf{mi}\ \approx 32.3\ \textsf{mi}

The cities are (rounded to the tenths) 32.3 miles from each other.
