Answer:

32 meters

Explanation:

we know that

The scale is
(2)/(16) \ (cm)/(m)

That means ----> 2 cm on a map represent 16 m in the actual

so

using proportion

Find out the distance between union and sun valley if they are 4 cm apart on a map


(2)/(16) \ (cm)/(m)=(4)/(x) \ (cm)/(m)\\\\x=16(4)/2\\\\x=32\ m
