This exercise has focused on how to properly use map scale to calculate real-world distances using map units. In this next section, you will explore each type of map scale (representative fraction, written scale, and graphic scale) in more depth to better understand how each one is used for distance measurements. Of the following scenarios, choose all that apply. If a map has a representative fraction of "1:64,000," and you are planning a hike that would total 7 inches on the map, then your hike will be 448,000 inches on the ground. If you have a map with a representative fraction of "1:100,000" then one inch on the map represents 100,000 miles on the Earth's surface. Only graphic scales can be used to accurately measure real-world distances anywhere on the map. If you have a map with a written scale of "1 inch = 200 feet," and the map is 10 inches long by 10 inches wide, then the map represents 2,000,000 square feet on the ground. If a map has a written scale of "1 cm = 500 m," and you are using this map to plan a trip with a total distance of 22 cm on the map, then your total distance on the ground will be 11,000 m.
