Using Ratio as Scales
Scale diagrams are often used in building plans and maps to represent distance on the ground. Each length in the scale diagram represents a real length in the building or map.
On the diagram of the car above, 2cm represents 1m.
A distance of 8cm on the diagram represents 4m. A distance of 3m in real life would be 6cm on the diagram.
