What does the scale of a map represent?

The size of the map in relation to the real world

The measurement of the map's dimensions

The distance between two points on the map

A ratio of the distance on the map to the actual distance in real life (correct)

What is the formula to calculate the real distance using a number scale?

Real Distance = Measured Distance on Map / Scale Factor

Real Distance = Scale Factor / Measured Distance on Map

Real Distance = Measured Distance on Map × Scale Factor (correct)

Real Distance = Scale Factor × Measured Distance on Map

What is the advantage of using a number scale?

It is more complex and requires more calculations

It is only used for small distances

It is accurate even when the map is resized

It is easy to use and requires measuring only one distance (correct)

What is the disadvantage of using a number scale?
