Question

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

5 cm represents 10 km

Solution

Representative Fraction

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

Distance on Map = 5 cm

Distance on Ground = 10 km

Representative Fraction

= `5/10`

= `1/2` km or 2,00,000

Therefore representative fraction
= 1 : 2,00,000 cm
