3.  1 inch represents 1 yard.
4.  1 cm represents 100 metres.

Answer

1.  

5 cm represents

= 10 km or 1000000 cm

1 cm represents = 1000000 ÷ 5

R. F. : 1 : 200000
2.

5 cm represents

= 10 km or 1000000 cm

1 cm represents = 1000000 ÷ 5

=200000

R. F. : 1 : 200000
3.

1' represents = 1 yard or 36'

1' represents =36'

R. F. : 1 : 36
4.
