Answer 2

As per the data given in the question,

We have to determine the ratio of 500 meter to 5 Kilometer.

As we know that,

Ratio can only be calculated if the both the terms have same units.

As here, the units are different.

So, we will first convert Km into meter.

As we know that,

$1\:Km = 1000\:m$

So, $5\:Km= (5\times 1000) = 5000\:m$

Now we will determine the ratio,

We will get the ratio as,

$\frac{500}{5000} = \frac{5}{50} = \frac{1}{10}\\=>\frac{500\:m}{5\:Km}= 1:10$

Hence, required ratio between 500 meter and 5 Kilometer will be 1:10.
