Question

Which of the following scale is the largest?

(1 Point)
1 cm represents 2 km
1.50 000
1 : 25 000
1/100 000

Answer 1

1 : 25,000 is the largest scale.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 cm represents 2 km; is not correct because this is actually the smallest of the scales presented, meaning that 1 cm on the map is equal to 200,000 cm on the ground.

1 : 50,000; is not correct because this is the second-largest scale from the options.

1 : 25,000; is correct because it is the largest scale, with 1 cm on the map representing 25,000 cm on the ground. The smaller the scale, the larger it is.

1 : 100,000; is not correct because it is the third-largest, with 1 cm on the map representing 100,000 cm on the ground.
