Does a scale show measurement of a smaller distance that represents a larger distance?

Yes, but a scale can also be used to show a smaller distance by using a bigger distance (i.e. the opposite of the above). For example, imagine we were drawing a representation of something really small like the structure of an atom. If we wanted to draw this accurately we would have to use a scale which uses a larger distance to represent a smaller one.

When a number in a measurement is converted from kilometers to meters dose the number get larger or smaller?
Yes.
What in the metric system is ten times smaller or ten times bigger?
In the metric system, each measurement is ten times smaller or larger than the previous or next measurement. For example, a millimeter is ten times smaller than a centimeter. A centimeter is ten times smaller than a decimeter, and so on. This chart may be helpful The column on the far left lists the measurements in order from largest to smallest, top to bottom. The three columns on the right list the name of the measurement and the abbreviation.
Is Jupiter larger or smaller?
smaller
Why does it make sense to divide when you convert a measurement to a larger unit?
Because when you convert to a larger unit, you know that you will wind up with less of them, and if you divide by a number greater than ' 1 ', then the quotient is always a smaller number than you started with.
What the asteroids are larger or smaller than planets?

When you are changing a smaller unit of measurement to a larger unit of measurement do you multiply or divide?
divide
When converting a larger unit of measurement to a smaller unit you what?
Multiply
When going from larger to smaller units of measurement do you always divide?
No, never.
When a number in a measurement is converted from kilometers to meters dose the number get larger or smaller?
Yes.
Is kilometers smaller or larger than grams?
They aren't relevant units of measurement you boob.
When do you use miles or feet?
You use feet when dealing with smaller amounts of a measurement. Like buildings, or plots of land buildings are on. You use miles with larger distances, like the distance from Chicago to St. Louis.
Why are larger brakes prefered over smaller brakes in vehicles?
Larger brakes = shorter stopping distance.
How is the gravitational force related to the distance between objects?
At a larger distance, the gravitional force gets smaller.
Is .375 wider than .0600?
Remember that the further your number is from zero, the smaller it is -- this means that once you go below 0.0, larger numbers will actually mean a smaller measurement, so 0.375 is a larger measurement than 0.0600 because it is closer to zero.
Does the smaller gear in a gear train move the same distance as the larger gear?
No it does not.
Does a smaller screwdriver travel greater distance than a larger screwdriver?
No, even if going around in a circle is counted, the distance is the same.
Can a lever multiply distance?
A lever is a simple machine that allows mechanical force to be exerted using a varying distance. Typically, the lever allows the use of a smaller force across a greater distance in the place of a larger force over a smaller distance.
