This math topic focuses on understanding and practicing the concept of map scales using metric units. Students are introduced to converting between different metric units, such as millimeters, centimeters, decameters, and hectometers relative to the map distances. The problems involve calculating the map scale by converting map units to actual distances under the scenario of scales being multiples of 10, with scales given in options such as 1:10, 1:100, 1:1,000, and 1:100,000. This is designed to help build proficiency in measurement conversion and understanding map scales in a metric context.
