4000 miles (6,437.38 kilometers)
Since 1 inch is 500 miles on the map, 8 inches would be 8 times more than 500 miles.
In this problem, we have to use multiplication method to solve the problem.
Multiply 500 miles × 8 inches. In simplified manner:
500 × 8
We get the answer:
500 × 8 = 4000
Final result:
4000 miles
