Question

⦁ Convert 1/100,000 to statement scale

Answer 1

Explanation:To convert a Representative Fraction scale to a direct statement scale, divide the denominator by 100000, to change centimetres into kilometres. For example, to convert the R.F. 1:50000 into verbal scale, we would do this: 1cm=50000cm 1cm=(50000/100000)km 1cm=0.5km or 1 cm to 500m We cannot write 1cm=0.5km, because we cannot use decimals, therefore we are going to multiply 0.5 by 2, and get this verbal scale 2cm=1km
