There are two main types of map scales:

bar and lexical.

In a bar scale, which tends to be the most common, the mapmaker has given you a visual guide to use to make distance calculations

A lexical scale is not visual like a bar scale. Instead, the mapmaker gives the distance conversion in words. For example, the map may include the scale written as '1 inch equals 10 miles'.

Answer:

there are two types of map scales,bar and lexical,but bar scales are used more frequently because they represent the distance ratio visually instead of in words,as in this case with lexical scales.using map scales is important in the real world if you want to figure out the distance you are traveling.
