Tyler drove 8 miles to his home village. The map he's using represents that same distance as 4 inches. What scale is the map using? \(1 \, inch \, = \, 2 \, miles\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 2 \, miles\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 4 \, miles\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 2 \, miles\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 1 \, mile\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 0 \, miles\)
