Open in App
Solution
Answer:
The ratio of distance on the map to distance on the ground is known as a representative fraction (RF).
- Representative fractions are written as 1 followed by a : (colon) and then a number, in which the first number is the fraction’s numerator, the colon represents the division operation, and the second number is the fraction’s denominator.
- One inch on the map equals 24,000 inches on the ground, and one centimeter on the map equals 24,000 centimeters on the ground, then RF can be expressed as 1: 24,000.
