W hich of these scales is equivalent to the scale 1 cm to 5 km? Select all that apply.  (Lesson 1-11) A. 3 cm to 15 km D.    5 m

The corresponding scales are:

3 cm for 15 km translates to 1 cm for 5 km ⇒ answer A

5 mm for 2.5 km translates to 1 cm for 5 km ⇒ answer D

1 mm for 500 m translates to 1 cm for 5 km ⇒ answer E

Detailed explanation:

To engage with this problem:

1. Given that 1 cm is equivalent to 5 km, all provided answers must

 be converted to cm and km

2. Determine the matching scales against the provided scale

A.

Since 3 cm indicates 15 km

Thus, 1 cm indicates 5 km

3 cm for 15 km equates to 1 cm for 5 km

B.

Since 1 mm signifies 150 km

Since 1 cm = 10 mm

So, 0.1 cm indicates 150 km

- Then multiply both by 10

So, 1 cm indicates 1500 km

1 mm to 150 km does not match with 1 cm to 5 km

C.

Since 5 cm signifies 1 km

Thus, 1 cm signifies 0.2 km

5 cm to 1 km does not match with 1 cm to 5 km

D.

Since 5 mm signifies 2.5 km

Thus, 5 mm = cm = 0.5 cm

Therefore, 0.5 cm indicates 2.5 km

- Divide both by 0.5

Therefore, 1 cm represents 5 km

5 mm to 2.5 km corresponds to 1 cm to 5 km

E.

Since 1 mm signifies 500 m

- Convert mm to cm

Since 1 cm = 10 mm

So, 1 mm = cm = 0.1 cm

- Convert m to km

Since 1 km = 1000 m

Thus, 1 m = = 0.001 km

Thus, 500 m = = 0.5 km

Thus, 0.1 cm indicates 0.5 km

- Multiply both by 10

1 mm to 500 m corresponds to 1 cm to 5 km
