Metric Unit Scale on Map - Power of 10 (less than 1000) - Change Single Unit (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on understanding and converting units of measurement in the context of map scales, specifically with the metric system. The problems require converting measurements based on different map scales (e.g., 1:10, 1:100, 1:1000) into different metric units such as centimeters (cm), decimeters (dm), and decameters (dam). Each problem specifies a map scale and prompts the conversion of a measurement, such as 1 cm or 1 mm on the map, into a larger unit, testing skills in multiplication, division, and understanding of the metric system and map scales.
