Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

1 to 1000

Step-by-step 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,

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

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

$=\frac{1}{1000}$

Answer 2

1 dm represents 100 m implies that 10 cm represents 100 m, so the scale is 1 : 10, that means that 1 cm is 10 m in the map.
