What is the length of the scale, the representative fraction is 1:50000 and the scale must measure up to 25 km? Correct Answer 50 cm

The formula for calculating the length of the scale is given by, Length of the scale = R.F. x maximum length to be measured; Hence length of the scale = 1 ÷ 50000 x 25 x 1000 x 100 = 50 cm. It is very important to note the units while calculating.
