This math topic focuses on understanding and calculating the scale of a map using metric units. The exercises require converting map measurements to actual distances, where both values are given in the same unit (either cm or mm). Students learn to determine the scale ratio in problems where the map measurements and the corresponding real-world distances are all less than 1000 units. These problems serve as an introduction to measurement conversion and map scaling concepts using metric units. Each question provides multiple-choice answers, enhancing the ability to calculate and select the correct scale ratio.
