Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is 1/2000

Explanation:

Given:

• Distance of ground = 10 m
• The distance of 10 m on ground is plotted on a map as 0.5 cm

To find:

• The representative fraction of the scale.

Formula:

$Representative fraction = \frac{Distance on the map}{Actual corresponding distance on ground}$  

Solution:

We know that ,

Distance on map = 0.5 cm

Actual corresponding distance on ground = 10 m

We know that 1 m = 100 cm

Therefore 10 m = 10 × 100

                 10 m = 1000 cm

Substitute the values in formula. we get,

Representative fraction = Distance on the map / Actual corresponding distance on the ground

$Representative fraction = \frac{0.5}{1000}$

$Representative fraction = \frac{5}{10000}$

Representative fraction = 1/2000

The correct answer is 1/2000
