Hi there!

To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion: 5/100 = 1/x. Now, cross-multiply to get an equation: 100 = 5x. Lastly, divide both sides by 5 to figure out how many meters one centimeter represents: x = 20 meters.

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
