Answer 2

To write 1 centimeter represents 30 metres,

In words : 1 cm = 30 m or 1 cm = 3000 cm

In ratio : 1 : 3000

Explanation:

To write 1 centimeter represents 30 metres in

• Words :

We simply write 1 cm = 30 m or we can even convert them into the same unit and write 1 cm = 3000 cm or 1/ 3000 m = 1 m.

• Ratio :

To write it in ratio, first of all we have to convert them to the same unit, either metre or centimetre, that is, 1 cm = 3000 cm or 1/ 3000 m = 1 m

In ratio, it would be 1 : 3000 or 1/ 3000 : 1.
