Answer:

There are three main ways that scale is indicated on a map: graphic (or bar), verbal, and representative fraction (RF). Bar scales show scale using a graphic format. The actual length of the bar scale shows what that length represents in real world units.

Answer:

Scale can also be represented verbally or in text format. For example the verbal scale, 1″ = 100′ means that one inch measured the map represented 100 feet on the ground.  This type of scale representation visually looks very similar to representative fraction (RF).  However, representative fraction avoids the use of units in detailing the scale of a map.Bar scales show scale using a graphic format.  The actual length of the bar scale shows what that length represents in real world units.  In the example below, the bar scale shows the distance on the map that represents ten kilometers or a little under six miles.
