First, you put it into a scale

1mm:300km

Second, you times the whole thing by 10 so that the 1 millimeter will become 1 centimeter

1cm:3 000km

Next, you convert the 300 kilometers into meter

1cm:3 000 000

After that, you convert the 3 000 000 into centimeters

1cm:300 000 000cm

Lastly, remove the 'cm' sign as they are both of the same units already

1:300 000 000

Each increment in the Richter scale represents a ten-fold increase in the shaking magnitude of the earthquake. In most countries, though, seismologists now use the moment magnitude scale.
