Answer:

There are three main ways that scale is indicated on a map:

Graphic (or bar),
Verbal, and
Representative fraction (RF).

Explanation:

Graph Scale

Map scale can be specified in the drawing (graph scale), but is usually specified as a fraction or as a ratio of 1/10,000 or 1:10,000. These "representative fraction" scales mean that a 1 inch or 1 centimeter map measurement represents 10,000 of the same unit on the ground.

Verbal Scale

Verbal Scale is a verbal representation of the relationship between map distances and ground distances. Usually it looks like this: 1 inch equals 16 miles. The implication here is that 1 inch is on the map and 1 inch represents 16 miles on the ground.

Typical Fractional Scale

A method of scaling a map or plan, expressed as a fraction, showing the relationship between units of distance on the map or plan and distances measured in the same units on the ground.
