A fractional scale is a way that map makers tell you what distances on the map represent in real life. It does not use any units, so the scale might state 1:100000 [or 1/100000] which means that 1 unit on the map represents 100000 units in the real world. For example if you measure off 1 cm on the map, this represents 100000 cm (equivalent to 1000 m or 1 km) in the real world. See related link, below.

Does a Ratio scale and fractional scale represent the same distance on map?
I don't know. Maybe you should study!
What is the difference between a verbal scale a graphic scale and a fractional scale?
a verbal scale expresses distance as a statement, such as " one centimeter is equal to one kilometer" a graphic scale consist of the line that represents a certain distance, such as 5km or 5 miles. a fractional scale expresses ratios, such as 1:63 500. this means 1 unit on the map is 63 500 units on earths surface.
If a measured distance of 10 inches on a map represents an actual distance of 5 miles what is the fractional scale of the map?
(63360 x 5in) / 10in on map = 31,680 ==> the fraction scale is 1:31,680
What is the Brinell scale used for?
Determining the hardness of materials is the purpose of a Brinell scale. The Brinell scale is one of several items used in the definition of hardness in materials science.
Why do you think the definition for polynomials is so restrictive?
The definition for polynomials is very restrictive. This is because it will give more information. It excludes radicals, negative exponents, and fractional exponents. When these are included, the expression becomes rational and not polynomial.

Why a mixed numbers is not in the set of integers?
By definition, a mixed number contains a fractional part. Also, by definition, an integer does not have a fractional part.
What is the definition of fractional edge length?

How do you read O on a graphic fractional scale?
Graphic and fractional scales are two different things. A graphic scale on a map is a line marked with the lengths which represent real distances. It has a zero at one end. A fractional scale simply gives the ratio between map and real distances, e.g. 1: 10 000, so zero doesn't come into it.
