Question

Convert the following representative fraction into a statement:

1: 200,000 (to show kilometres)

Numerical

Solution

1 : 2,00,000 (to show kilometres)

Numerical scale (R.F.) = Distance on the map

Distance on the ground

= `1/(2,00,000`

= 1 cm to 2,00,000 cm

Since, 1 km = 1,00,000 cm

Or 2 km = 2,00,000 cm

1 cm to 2 km

Thus, the statement scale is 1 cm to 2 km.
