Question

If 1 centimeter represents 40 kilometers, how many centimeters are needed to represent 440 kilometers?

Answer 1

1 centimeter = 40 kilometers

? centimeter = 440 kilometers

The simple way to do this is to set it as a ratio as shown above. From 40 to 440, there is a increase in 11 times. (40 x 11 = 440)

So, you would do 1 x 11 = 11. This means 11 centimeters is equal to 440 kilometers.

11 centimeter = 440 kilometers

Answer 2

11 cm. Simply divide 440 by 40, and you'll get your answer.
