Question

What is the major advantage of the fractional method?

• A. It uses specific country-based measurement units
• B. It only applies to metric units
• C. It is written in simple language
• D. It avoids confusion caused by different measurement units

Answer 1

Answer:

D. It avoids confusion caused by different measurement units

The fractional method does not include units but rather expresses the proportional relationship between the distance on the ground and the distance on the map. Advantages of the Fractional Method: The ratio between map distance and actual distance remains the same regardless of the units used. It eliminates confusion caused by differences in measurement systems across countries.
