x=160

The actual distance represented by 1 centimetre is 0.16 kilometres.

Given that, the scale on a map is 1:16000.

We need to find what is the actual distance represented by 1 centimetre.

What is the scale factor?

A scale factor is a number by which the size of any geometrical figure or shape can be changed with respect to its original size.

Now, the scale on a map is 1:16000.

That is 1 centimeter in map = 16000 actual centimeters.

1 meter = 100 centimeters.

1 kilometer = 1000 meter.

So, 1 kilometer = 100000 centimeters.

Now, the actual distance=16000/100000=0.16 km

Therefore, the actual distance is 0.16 km.
