What it means is that one inch on the map represents 24,000 inches on the ground. Or one centimeter on the map represents 24,000 centimeters on the ground (or any other unit you want to choose). Below the ratio scale is a graphic scale representing distance in miles, feet and meters. The graphic scale can be used to make fast estimates of distances on the map.
This is how to solve the problem!!:. 1  First measure the distance on the map between the two towns-the answer is 2.5 inches. 2  Now we need to know the distance on the ground that that distance on the map represents. 3  The rep. fraction tells us that 2.5 inches on the map represents 253,440 times 2.5 inches on the ground.
