Question

Convert the given Statement of Scale into Representative Fraction (R. F.)

2 inches represents 4 miles

Sum

Solution

Representative Fraction

= `("Distance of Map")/("Distance on ground")`

2 inches = 4 miles

therefore, 1 inch = 2 miles (63,360 × 2)
1 inch on map = 1,26,720 inches on ground.
Therefore representative fraction
= 1:1,26, 720
