If the scale is 1 cm to 50,000, you would do 13 * 50,000. That would get you 650,000. I'm sorry if this is incorrect but i hope it helps.

Answer:

6.5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

1:50,000

13 cm on a map, multiply both sides by 13 which leaves us with:

13:650,000

However, we need to calculate the distance in kilometers, not centimeters. To do that, we have to divide 650,000 by 100,000 which leaves us with 6.5 km
