OK!
50 km * (1000 m/km) * (1/200,000)= 0.25 m = 25 cm
DONE!

50 KM is the same as 50,000 meters. For a scale of 1:200,000, you must divide 50,000 meters by 200,000 to find the number of meters apart in this scale. The answer is .25 meters.
So, .25 is to 50,000 as 1 is to 200,000.
.25 meters can also be written as 25 centimeters.

1:200,000
*divide 200,000 by 50
2000,000/50= 4000 (whatever the unit on the map is) apart
