Question

Which method represents proportional distance without the need for units?

• A. Statement method
• B. Fractional method
• C. Linear method
• D. Topographical method

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Fractional method

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.
