Explanation: Divide 1000 meters by 1000 to decrease it to 1 so 10000 divided by 1000 is 10.

1: 10


Step-by-step explanation

We want to simplify, the ratio 10,000 centimeters to 1000 meters.


Thus,


10,000cm:1000m

We need to convert to the same unit and simplify.

Recall that,


100cm = 1m

So the above ratio can be rewritten as,



100m:1000m

Or


10,000cm:100,000cm

We simplify now to get,



1:10
