Question

Representative fraction can be calculated by ______________________.

• A. distance of map divided by distance on the ground in the same unit
• B. distance of map divided by distance on the ground in different unit
• C. distance on the ground divided by distance of map in the same unit
• D. distance of map multiply by distance on the ground

Answer 1

The correct option is A distance of map divided by distance on the ground in the same unit

Representative fraction can be calculated by distance of map divided by distance on the ground in the same unit.

The scale of a map is expressed in the form of a numerical fraction that relates linear distances on the map to the corresponding actual distances on the ground, measured in the same units (centimeters, inches, feet); e.g., 1/24,000 indicates that one unit on the map represents 24,000 equivalent units on the ground.
