10 metres is 1000 times as large as 1 centimetre. Therefore in this scale, one unit (whatever that unit may be) must actually represent the same unit times 1000.
So, for example, a model of a building which in reality is actually 33 metres high, to this scale, would be 0.033 metres or 3.3cm high.

The scale ratio of 1cm to 10m can be calculated by converting both measurements to the same unit. Converting 10m to cm gives us 1000cm. Therefore, the scale ratio is 1:1000, meaning for every 1cm on the map, it represents 1000cm or 10m in real life.
Well, darling, the scale ratio of 1cm to 50km is simply 1:5,000,000. So, if you're feeling adventurous and want to map out a road trip, just remember that every tiny centimeter represents a whopping 50 kilometers in the real world. Happy travels!

10dm=1cm
Think about this as a dice. The dice is 1cm x 1cm x 1cm. The volume of the dice is 1 x 1 x 1. The sides of the dice are 1x1 How many sides on a cube? 6 x 1 x 1 = 6cm Surface area = 6cm Then make that into a ratio, sorry I forgot that part of the question: surface area is 6 Volume is 1 so 6:1
