Question

which ratio is equivalent to the scale \\( \frac{1 \text{ cm}}{50 \text{ m}} \\)? 49:50 1:51 50:1 1:50

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the scale ratio

The given scale is $\frac{1\ \text{cm}}{50\ \text{cm}}$ (assuming the units are consistent, maybe a typo and should be same unit like cm). This represents 1 unit (cm) to 50 units (cm).

Step2: Compare with options

A ratio of $\frac{1}{50}$ is equivalent to $1:50$ when expressed in ratio form. The other options don't match: $49:50$ is different, $1:51$ is not, $50:1$ is inverse.

Answer:

1:50
