Explanation

The actual distance on the map = 13 cm

The map is drawn at a scale of 1 : 50, 000

On the map

1 cm on map represents 50, 000 cm

Therefore,

13cm on map represents 13 (50, 000) cm in actual distance on map

= 650, 000 cm in actual distance on map

= 6, 500 m in actual distace on map

= 650 km in acutal distance on map
