Question

• A. Because it uses universally accepted units
• B. Because it is written in words
• C. Because it is easy to read
• D. Because it uses British measurement units

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Because it uses universally accepted 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.
