The distance in metres between the towns in real life is 1600000 meters

How to determine the distance in real life?

The scale ratio is given as:

Scale = 1 cm : 200000 m

The map distance of 8cm implies that:

8 cm : Real = 1 cm: 200000 m

Express as fraction

Real/8 = 200000 m/1

Multiply both sides by 8

Real = 1600000 m

Hence, the distance in metres between the towns in real life is 1600000 meters
