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.

Which is bigger 9000 cm or 2 km?
2 km
How many metres is half a km?
There are 500 metres in 1/2 of a km
How many waves each 500 nanometers long would fit along a 2 centimeter line?
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
A scale written as a ratio in simplest form?
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
Convert 2 x 2 to meters squared?
to what? ft²? cm²? km²? yd²?
