well lets break this up logically
2500 KM
= 2, 500,000 meters
=250,000,000 cm
OK so 2500 KM = 250,000,000 cm so if there are two hundered and fifty million centimeters and the scale is 1 to
one hundred million, then 2.5 centimeters on the map will equal your 2500 km in real life

2500 km x 1000 = 2 500 000 m x 100 = 250 000 000 cm
1/100 000 000 = x / 250 000 000
x = 2.5 cm

2,500 km is 2,500,000 m or 250,000,000 cm
So on the map, a distance of 2.5 cm

1: 100,000,000
2500 km = 2,500,000 m = 250,000,000 cm
250,000,000 / 100,000,000 = 2.5 cm

!:100.000.000
R= 2500.000 m/1.00.000.000=1/40 m=2,5 cm

2500km = 2500000m = 250000000cm
250000000/100000000=2.5cm
