Well as the scale says, every 1 cm on the map is actually 250,000 cm. You know the distance is 10.4cm on the map, so whats the actual distance?
1:250,000 basicallys shows that 1 cm on the map is equal to 250,000 cm on the ground.
Use a simple ratio method and solve.

250,000 times 10.4 = 2 600 000
so 2,600,000km
so 2,600,000km
cm, not km
