Question

Convert the given Representative Fraction (R. F.) into Statement of Scale in the System of Measurement shown in parentheses:

1 : 31680 (into furlongs)

Sum

Solution

1 inch represents 31,680 inches

1 mile = 8 furlongs

1 furlong = 220 yards

1 yard = 3 feet

1 foot = 12 inches

Therefore, 31680 inches = 31680

Divided by 12 x 3 x 220 furlongs = 4 furlongs

Therefore, 31680 inches = 4 furlongs
