Which scale is larger: 1: 30,000 or 1: 90,000; 1: 500,000 or 1: 50,000; 1: 1,000,000 or 1: 10,000?
in order to determine which scale is larger, it is necessary to translate the data in the task, the numerical scales into the named ones. So we get that the numerical scale of 1: 30,000 in the named one will look like this – in 1 centimeter there will be 300 meters, and on a scale of 1: 90,000 – in 1 centimeter 900 meters, comparing these values, we can say that the scale is 1: 30,000 will be larger than 1: 90,000. Then we do everything in the same way and we get: the scales 1: 500,000 and 1: 50,000 in the named one will look like this – in 1 centimeter – 5000 meters, and in 1 centimeter – 500 meters. Comparing, we find that the scale of 1: 50,000 will be larger. Further, the numerical scales 1: 1,000,000 or 1: 10,000 in the named one will look like: 1: 1,000,000 – in 1 centimeter there will be 10,000 meters, and in 1: 10,000 – in 1 centimeter 100 meters, respectively, and comparing we determine that 1 : 10,000 larger.
