Answer:  The scale factor is:  " 2 : 300 " .
________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________
2 cm : 3 m ; 
________________________________________

Convert:  "2 cm "  to the value in "m" .

Note the exact conversion:  "100 cm = 1 m" .
_________________________________________


   2 cm * (1 m / 100 cm) =  (2/100) m = 0.02 m .

So we rewrite:  "2 cm: 3 m " ;  as:
__________________________________________
            0.02 m : 3 m ;

The units of "m" cancel out ; since "m/m = 1" ; 
and we are left with:

0.02 : 3 ; or, write as:  0.02/3 ; 

Now, multiply BOTH the numerator and the denominate by "100" ; to get rid of the decimal; since "scale factors" in maps do not use "decimals" ;

 "0.02 / 3 " =  [ (0.02)*100 ] / [(3 * 100)]  =  2/300 ;

Answer:

1:150

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

the scale factor  is the ratio that exists between the measurements of a map with the originals ,the scale is the relationship between the real dimensions and those of the drawing that represents reality on a plane or a map.the scale factor is dimensionless

for a map a scale of reduction is used

[tex]sf=\frac{length\ on\ reality \ }{length\ on\ map \ }[/tex]

Step 1

the scale factor of 2 centimeters : 3 meters means that, if we measure 2 cm in the map , it is 3 meters on the reality

Let

Length on the reality=3 m

Length on the =2 cm

replacing

[tex]sf=\frac{length\ on\ reality \ }{length\ on\ map \ }\\sf=\frac{3\ m}{2\ cm}[/tex]

to cancel units is need convert cm into m, or m

1 m =100 cm

3m  = x? cm

x=3*100 cm

x=300 cm

Step 2

replacing

[tex]{length\ on\ map \ }\\sf=\frac{300\ cm}{2\ cm}\\sf=150[/tex]

the scale factor is 150, usually is written 1:150,  that means that any length in the plane must be multiplied by 150 to know the length in reality

Have a great day
