Explanation:
epresentative Fraction is the ratio of the map distance to ground distance. It is represented as R.F. It can be represented as 1/100000.
Representative Fraction = distance on the map/distance on the ground
Distance between two cities A and B = 5 km
Line of map = 5 cm
R.F. = 5 cm/5 km
=5 cm/500000 cm
= 1/100000
So, R.F. is 1/100000

Given:
Two cities = A and B
Distance between them = 5km
Measurement of line = 5cm
To Find:
The distance in representative fraction
Solution:
Representative Fraction (R.F.) = Total map distance / Total ground distance
Therefore,
RF = 5cm/5km
Since the values are different, converting km into cm.
5km = 5,00,000 cm
Thus, Rf = 5: 5,00,000
= 1 : 1,00,000
Answer: The distance in RF terms is 1 : 1,00,000
