Question

1 decimeter on the map represents 100 meters on the ground. The scale ratio is 1 to ___.

Answer 1

1 to 1000

Explanation:

Since, we know that,

1 meter = 10 decimeter,

⇒ Decimeter in 100 meter = 100 × decimeter in 1 meter = 1000,

In the scale,

1 decimeter represents 100 meter,

So,

`\text{Scale ratio}=\frac{\text{1 decimeter}}{\text{100 meter}}`

`=\frac{\text{1 decimeter}}{\text{1000 decimeter}}`

`=(1)/(1000)`
