first of all, it says the diagram is drawn to scale.
then, 100 metres is the original length, the actual length of AB.
but it never said 1 on the diagram represents 100 metres :D
the length of AB in the diagram represents 100 metres in actual. :D
so u have to measure AB with a scale and u will get 10 cm.
this means 10 cm on this diagram represents 100 metres in actual :)
now 100 metres = 10000 cm

10:10000
so it should be in the form "1:n"
so therefore, simplify 10:10000 and u get this:
1:1000
did u understand or not? :D

Yes i did, thank you so much!
