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 you convert a larger unit of measurement to a smaller unit of measure do you multiply the smaller unit?

Yes, when converting a larger unit of measurement to a smaller unit, you multiply by the appropriate conversion factor. This is because there are more smaller units in the same quantity of the larger unit. For example, to convert meters to centimeters, you multiply by 100, since there are 100 centimeters in a meter.


When a number in a measurement is converted from kilometers to meters dose the number get larger or smaller?

Yes.


What is The relationship between the map distance and the corresponding distance on the ground is known as?

The relationship between the map distance and the corresponding distance on the ground is known as the map scale. This scale indicates how much a distance on the map represents a distance in real life, often expressed as a ratio or fraction, such as 1:50,000. A larger scale (e.g., 1:10,000) provides more detail over a smaller area, while a smaller scale (e.g., 1:250,000) covers a larger area with less detail.


When converting from a larger unit of measurement to a smaller unit of measure you should?

Divide by the conversion factor to get the equivalent value in the smaller unit.


What is a group that represents a larger group?

A subgroup or a subset represents a larger group by sharing common characteristics or attributes with the larger group while being distinct in some way. The smaller group mirrors, in part or whole, the characteristics of the larger group it is part of.

Is smaller than the atomic radius of oxygen?

Yes, the atomic radius of oxygen is larger than the size of an atom. The atomic radius represents the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron shell of an atom.


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 is kilo a much important prefix than tera?

Kilo is a more common and widely used prefix than tera because it represents a smaller unit of measurement, such as a thousand, which is easier to relate to in everyday contexts. Tera, on the other hand, represents a much larger unit of measurement, equivalent to a trillion, which is less commonly used in everyday language or measurements.
