Solution

The scale of a map is a ratio that represents the distance on the map to the actual distance on the ground.

In the question, it is stated that "One centimetre on the map represents one kilometre." This means that for every one centimetre on the map, it represents one kilometre in real life.

To express this as a ratio, we need to convert the units so they are the same. Since 1 kilometre is equal to 100,000 centimetres, the ratio would be 1:100,000.

Therefore, the scale of the map extract, expressed as a ratio, is 1:100,000.
