It has become a very popular method of expressing the scale. Disadvantages : (i) It is only a fraction in which no system of units is used. Hence, distances cannot be directly measured from it. (ii) Whenever a map is photographically enlarged or reduced, the R.F. will no longer be true.

Answer 2

Answer:

One of the major advantages of using the R.F. (Representative Fraction) scale is that it allows you to directly compare the sizes of objects between different maps. Because the R.F. eliminates the use of specific units (such as inches, feet, miles, etc.), there are no complicated conversions needed.
