Question

Convert the following representative fraction into a statement:

1 : 1000000 (to show kilometres).

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

`1/(10,00,000)`

Answer 1

1 : 1,00,000 (to show kilometres)

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

Distance on the ground

= `1/(10,00,000)`

= 1 cm to 10,00,000 cm.

Since, 1 km = 1,00,000 cm.

Or 10 km = 10,00,000 cm.

1 cm to 10 km

Thus, the statement scale is 1 cm to 10 km.
