Question

1cm represent 5 kms convert into rf
​

Answer 1

Hey there,

• 1 km = 1000 m, and 1 m = 100 cm. According to the given scale, 5 cm represents 10 km.
• ∴ The representative fraction of the scale is 1 : 2,00,000. This means that 1 cm on map represents 2,00,000 cm on ground

Answer 2

The answer is 1 : 500000

GIVEN

1 cm represents 5 km

TO FIND

To convert in representative factors

SOLUTION

We can be simply solve the above problem as follows;

Representative factor or R.F can be defined as the ratio of length of the drawing to the actual of the object.

Given,

1 cm represents 5km

Converting measurements in same units;

1 km = 100000 cm

5 km = 5 × 100000 = 500000 cm

Therefore,

Ratio = 1 : 500000

That is, 1 cm on map represents 500000 cm on ground

Hence, The answer is 1 : 500000
