Question

Scale: 1:10,000 8. Scales are represented as a graphical/bar scale and as a fraction (i.e. 1:100,000, called a fractional scale). Fractional scale defines the "magnification" of a map and it enables you to convert map measurements into real-life measurements. A fractional scale of 1:100,000 means that 1 unit of measurement on the map is equal to 100,000 of the same unit in real life, i.e., the map magnifies reality 100.000 times). Let's try an example, with a 1:200 fractional scale for questions below a) 1 inch on the map- b) I foot on the map = c) 1 mm on the map- d) inches in real life feet in real life mm in real life inches on the map 100 real life inches 9. Look at the ratio scale for the figure in question 7. If you measured, 1 cm on the map, how 10. What is the fractional scale of the Acworth, TEX-OKLA map? 11. Examine the scale bar on the Acworth map. According to the scale bar, how many miles many kilometers would this be in real life?

Explanation / Answer

Q8.

for the example, the fractional scale for the questions below is 1:200.

part a:

1 inch on the map=1 inch*200=200 inches in real life

part b:

1 foot on the map=1 foot*200=200 feet in real life

part c:

1 mm on the map=1 mm*200=200 mm in real life

part d:

100 real life inches=100 /200=0.5 inches on the map
