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.

Explanation:

Because the R.F. eliminates the use of specific units (such as inches, feet, miles, etc.), there are no complicated conversions needed.

This is because RF measurement unit of "distances"in  the "denominator & numerator" is the "same"  and hence can be used in all nations. Whereas in statement of scale, the measurement unit is different for "numerator" & denominator". Hence, it could be understood "only" by those who know/familiar with the measurement unit. for instance, if we say the map scale is 1cm:1km, then it can be understood by that person who knows/familiar  with "metric system of measurement"

Explanation:

  • A "Representative fraction" is a ratio/fraction which "expresses" the "mathematical relationship" between "Land's actual length & length on the Map" such as 1:25000 & is "indicated" by a "fraction" whose "numerator" is "1" always. This "fraction" is generally "abbreviated" as "RF". Therefore,
  • "Representative Fraction" (RF) = "Map distance/Ground distance"
  • The measurement unit of "distances"in  the "denominator & numerator" is the "same". for example, if we say RF of a map is 1/200000 or 1:200000, it implies that 1 unit on the"map" "represents 200000 units on the "ground". If the measurement unit say is CM, we would say 1cm on the "map" "represents" 200000 cms on the "ground". Likewise if the measurement unit is an"inch", we would say 1inch  on the "map" is 200000inches on the "ground"
  • The advantage of RF is that because it is a fraction & is indented of any specific measurement unit, it could be used in all nations. Moreover, it is a very "popular" method for expressing "the scale"
  • A statement scale is where we "express the scale" in words, or we make a statement about it; such as one cm, 1km, or 1 inch to one
