earth diameter is 13000 kilometers, globe diameter of0.5 meter, what is the globes scale as a ratio. What distance on Earth would 1 cm on the globe represent?

Answer 1

1 km = 1000 m

1 m = 100 cm

1 km = 1000 * 100 = 100,000 cm

13,000 km = 13,000 * 100,000 = 1,300,000,000 cm

1 m = 100 cm

0.5 m = 50 cm

1,300,000,000 cm / 50 cm = 26,000,000

Globes scale as a ratio:

1 : 26,000,000

If 50 cm represent 13,000 km

then 1 cm represent :

13,000 / 50 = 260 km distance on Earth
