To find the scale ratio, you can express the relationship between the map distance and the ground distance. In this case:

1 ft (map) corresponds to 100 m (ground).

To express this as a scale ratio, you can set it up as a fraction:

Scale Ratio = (Map Distance / Ground Distance)

Scale Ratio = (1 ft / 100 m)

Now, you can simplify this ratio:

Scale Ratio = (1/100) ft/m

So, the scale ratio is 1:100, which means that every 1 unit on the map represents 100 units on the ground.
