Answer and explanation:

If a map is being reduced to form a pocket sized version then it is being proportionality reduced a smaller size that is required. Cartographers enlarge and reduce maps proportionally to serve different purposes in their study. The map is still the same but smaller in size.

If on a map 2cm represents 2 meters, that is 0.02/2 which evaluates to 1/100, then we are comparing distance and ensuring they are proportional using scale factor(our scale factor is 1:100 here)

$\frac{7^2x^{-3}}{49x^{-3} y^{-2}} \\ \\ \frac{49x^{-3}y}{49x^{-3}y^{-2}} \\ \\ \frac{49x^{-3}y}{49x^{-3} \times \frac{1}{y^2} } \\ \\ \frac{49x^{-3}y}{ \frac{49x^{-3}}{y^2} } \\ \\ 49x^{-3} y \times \frac{y^2}{49x^{-3}} \\ \\ \frac{x^{-3}}{x^{-3}} yy^2 \\ \\ 1 \times yy^2 \\ \\ yy^2 \\ \\ y^3 \\ \\$

The answer is: y^3.
