Does a Ratio scale and fractional scale represent the same distance on map?
I don't know. Maybe you should study!
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 used to convert between the distance on the map and actual distance in real life on a planimetric map?
The scale of a map may indicate the ratio as well as showing how lengths measured on the map represent actual distances.
What is the definition of fractional scale?
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.
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.
what are the map scales?
graphic scale, fractional scale, verbal scale
What are the three map scales?
graphic scale, fractional scale, verbal scale
What does not to scale' mean in a map?
Any map not drawn to scale must/will indicate that is it not drawn to scale and will also be marked 'for information only'. For such map projections, the concept of Point Scale is introduced which will strive to keep the scale within narrow bounds and will clearly indicate as such on the map itself
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.
Does a Ratio scale and fractional scale represent the same distance on map?

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 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

The scale of a map may indicate the ratio as well as showing how lengths measured on the map represent actual distances.
If 1 cm on a map equals 1 km on earth the fractional scale would be written as?
1:100,000
Were do you look on a map to find how far an inch is?
To find how far an inch is on a map, look for the map scale. It will indicate how many miles is in an inch.
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
