On a map a pond is 3.5 cm long.The pond is actually 52.5 m long.What is the ratio in its simplest form?

  • 52.5m / 0.035m = 1500:1


  • Matthew's answer is right.

    You have cm's and m's: 52.5 m = 52*100 cm because there are 100 cm in a m. 5250 cm. Best convert to cm; numbers easier to handle than converting to m. Then put the larger number over the smaller number. 5250 / 3.5 = 1500.

    So the ratio is 1:1500.


  • 1cm = 15m

    1:15


  • I'm sorry, but both the other answers are wrong ...

    If 52.5 METERS = 3.5 CM then the scale is 1:1500

    1cm = 1500cm (15m)

    Therefore 3.5cm = 5250cm (52.50m)

    When working out a scale ratio you have to get the units the same on both sides.

    Hope that helps.


  • scale of 1:15

    52.5 / 3.5 = 15


  • =52.5 *100/ 3.5
