To calculate the scale factor between the two distances, we need to divide the larger distance by the smaller distance. In this case, 500 km divided by 2 cm gives us a scale factor of 250 km/cm. This means that each centimeter on the map represents 250 kilometers in reality. This scale can be used to convert distances on the map to actual distances on the ground.
2 km
There are 500 metres in 1/2 of a km
20 nm = 500 × 10^-9 m 2 cm = 2 × 10^-2 cm → 2 cm ÷ 500 nm = (2×10^-2 m) ÷ (500 × 10^-9 m) = (2÷500) × 10^(-2 - -9) = 0.004 × 10^7 = 4 × 10^4 = 40,000
Convert the units of both sides to the same, then remove the units and simplify (if possible by dividing both sides by a common divisor greater than 1). eg The Landranger series map scale of 2 cm equals 1 km: 1 m = 100 cm 1 km = 1,000 m → 1 km = 1,000 x 100 cm = 100,000 cm 2 cm : 1 km → 2 cm : 1 x 100,000 cm → 2 cm : 100,000 cm → 2 : 100,000 → 1 : 50,000
to what? ft²? cm²? km²? yd²?
To find out how many kilometers 0.5 cm represents on the map, you can set up a proportion. Since 2 cm represents 50 km, you can write the proportion as 2 cm is to 50 km as 0.5 cm is to x km. Cross multiplying, you get 2 * x = 0.5 * 50. Solving for x, you find that 0.5 cm on the map represents 12.5 kilometers.
1 meter is 100 cm. 500 cm is 500 cm. 2 meters is 200 cm. Therefore, 500 cm is the longest distance.
20 km is 2 million cm
2 km
One km is 100,000 cm, therefore 2*100,000 is 200,00 cm. 2km is 200,000cm.
500 m = 0.5 km = 1/2 km
9000 cm = 0.09 km and is less than 2 km
2 km is greater.
2 km = 2*105 cm
1 km = 1000 m and 1 m = 100 cm, so 1 km = 100000 cm 2 km = 200000 cm ■
For determining which is the bigger unit we have to relate both the units to each other . we know, 1 km =100000 cm. 2 km =200000 cm which is greater than 9000 cm.
1:50,000. This means that 1 unit measured on the map represents 50,000 units in the real world. So if you measure 1 cm on the map, then it represents 50000 cm, which is 500 meters or 0.5 km. So 2 cm on the map represents 1 km. If you measure 1 inch on the map, then that represents 50,000 inches, which is about 4167 feet or 0.79 miles.
