Question
With regard to scale, answer the following question:
Convert the following statement into R.F.
15 cm = 6 km
Solution
15 cm = 6 km
As, 1 km = 1,00,000 cm
6 km = 1,00, 000 × 6 cm
= 6,00,000 cm
Since, R.F. = Distance on the map (in cm)
Distance on the ground (in cm)
R.F. = `15/(6,00,00`
= `1/(40,000)`
Thus, R.F. is 1 : 40,000
