I asked earlier a question, and I got this answer. Now, my question is: how do you get the 2.5cm= 100um? I have taken a picture of the paramecium in question, with the scale bar (100um), and a ruler showing it’s measurement is around 2.5cm. Is that how we got the 2.5?

a)
On images, there is given a scale bar so that the
actual sizes of the objects in the provided image
can be appreciated. The space bar is also used on
maps to show that the given length of the bar
approximates to how many meters or kilometers.
Similarly, on microscopic images, the unit of
preferred measurement is micrometer (um).
Step2
b)
The scale bar measures 2.5 cm and this is equated
as 100 um.
Thus, at the given magnification, the equation is
2.5 cm = 100 um
or 1 cm = (100/ 2.5) um
The length of the Paramecium as measured is 7.5
cm
and its width is 1.8 cm
Using the above conversion, the measurements can
be converted to approximate micrometers by:
Length
= 7.5 cm
