Question

Convert the following representative fraction into a statement:

1 : 10 (to show metres)

Answer 1

1 : 10 (to show metres)

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

Distance on the ground = `1/10`

= 1 cm to 10 m

Since, 1 m = 100 cm

Or 10 m = 1,000 cm

1 cm to 10 m

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