Which type of map scale remains accurate if the map is enlarged or reduced when photocopying?
graphic
A ratio used as a scale on map is called?
It is know as the map's scale. For example, a map with a 1:50,000 (one to fifty thousand) means that one centimetre measured on the map, represent 50,000 centimetres on the ground.
What is the meaning of a bar scale?
A bar scale is a fractional representation on the map showing the relationship between reality and the map, measured in given units, such as inches, feet or miles.
How do you change a topography map scale of 1 to 50000 to 1 to 10000?
Erase the 5 and draw in a 1. Seriously, a map at 1:10,000 of the same area as a map of 1:50,000 will be 5 times larger in each dimension. So to make a 1:50,000 scale map into a 1:10,000 scale map, enlarge it 500%! Of course, the level of detail will not change.
Does changing a map scale change actual distances?
No changing the map scale does not change actual distances. if you say that: 1inch = 1 mile or you say 2inches = 2 miles The scale changed but the distance between one city and the next city is still the same.
what are the map scales?
graphic scale, fractional scale, verbal scale
What are the three map scales?
graphic scale, fractional scale, verbal scale

Does a Ratio scale and fractional scale represent the same distance on map?
I don't know. Maybe you should study!

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.
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
If 1 cm on a map equals 1 km on earth the fractional scale would be written as?
1:100,000
What is graphical scale?
=(mapping) A graduated line that indicates the length of miles or kilometers as they appear on a map; the line has the advantage of remaining true after the map is enlarged or reduced in reproduction. Also known as bar scale. =

1inch equals 5miles and map b 1inch equals 2miles?
Simple, you're dealing with two diferently scaled maps. Topographic maps are drawn to scale. This means that distances on a map are proportional to distances on the ground. For example, if two cities 20 miles apart are shown 4 inches apart on a map, then any other locations that are 4 inches apart on the map are also 20 miles apart. This proportion, the map scale, is constant for the map so it holds for any points on the map. In this example the proportion between equivalent distances on the map and on the ground is expressed as a scale of 1 inch = 5 miles, that is 1 inch on the map is equal to 5 miles on the ground. The simplest form of map scale is a VERBAL SCALE. A verbal scale just states what distance on a map is equal to what distance on the ground, i.e. 1 inch = 5 miles from the example above. Though verbal scales are easy to understand, you usually will not find them printed on topographic maps. Other types of scale used are the fractional scale and the bar scale. In the case of your question, 1in = 5miles equates roughly to a fractional scale of 1:312,500 and 1in = 2miles equates roughly to a fractional scale of 1:125,000
