SOLUTION
The real length of 1 decametre is 10 meters or 1000 centimeters.
In the drawing, a line of 5 cm represents this length.
To find the RF (Representative Fraction), we can use the formula:
- RF = (Length on drawing) / (Corresponding length in real life)
- RF = 5 cm / 1000 cm
- RF = 1/200
ANSWER
RF = 1/200.
