Question

Convert the following representative fraction into a statement:

1 : 100 (to show metres).

Convert the following representative fraction (R.F.) into a statement of scale:

`1/(100)`

Answer 1

1 : 100 (to show metres)

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

Distance on the ground = `1/100`

= 1 cm to 100 cm

Since, 1 m = 100 cm

1 cm to 1 m

Thus, the statement scale is 1 cm to 1 m.
