Change one cm to four km into the representative fraction scale
To change a measurement from one unit to another in a representative fraction (RF) scale, you need to follow these steps:
1. Determine the ratio between the two units. In this case, we need to convert from centimeters (cm) to kilometers (km). Since there are 100 cm in 1 meter (m) and 1,000 meters in 1 kilometer, the ratio can be calculated as follows:
- cm to m: 1 cm = 1/100 m (because there are 100 cm in 1 m)
- m to km: 1 m = 1/1000 km (because there are 1,000 m in 1 km)
2. Multiply the two ratios to get the conversion factor:
- cm to km: (1/100) * (1/1000) = 1/100,000
3. Convert the measurement by multiplying it by the conversion factor:
- To change 1 cm to km, multiply it by the conversion factor:
1 cm * (1/100,000) = 0.00001 km
Therefore, one centimeter on the representative fraction scale would be equivalent to 0.00001 kilometers.
