    Step-by-step explanation:

    A building is 10cm tall.

    Actual building is 3m tall.

    1m = 100cm

    3m = How many cm?

    Cross multiplying gives:

    3 * 100 = 300cm

    The scale used here is:

    10 cm represents 300cm

    or

    10:300

    Simplifying gives a scale;

    1:30

    Meaning that 1cm represents 30cm of the actual building.
