Metric Unit Scale on Map - Power of 10 (to 1000000) - Change Single Unit (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on understanding map scales in the context of metric units, with scales ranging up to 1:1,000,000. The problems revolve around converting map scales into real-world distances, requiring learners to convert among various metric units such as kilometers, hectometers, and decameters from given map scales. Each question provides a scale and asks students to determine the real-life distance a specific map measurement (like 1 cm or 1 mm) would represent, facilitating practice in both recognizing the function of map scales and executing metric unit conversions.
