Simplify this map scale

1cm: 5km

This problem belongs to comparing quantities.

as we have two different units cm and km .so we need to convert any one of the units to same unit.i am converting km to cm here .

1km=1000m

100cm=1m

so 1000m=100000 cm

so 5km=5000m=500000 cm

1cm:500000 cm =1/500000 is the ratio to fraction form.As we having same units on both numerator and denominator it will cancels.

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
