I have a math question.two fielda ats state park are 1000 meters from each other.on a map,the two fields are 8 centimeters apart.What scale is the map using?is it the metric scale??

In a true scale , the units of the terms are the same, and thus the units would cancel

8 cm : 1000 m
= 8 cm : 100000 cm
= 1 : 12500

behold the beauty and simplicity of the metric system
Had this been 1000 yards and 8 inches, it would be a lot messier.
So what would be the answer
ya whats the answer
