All three types of scale (Written, Representative Fraction, and Graphic) relate the distance on the map to the distance on the ground in different ways. The Written Scale uses words to indicate the ratio of distance on the map to distance on the ground (e.g. "1 inch equals 10 miles"), the Representative Fraction (or Ratio Scale) uses a ratio of numbers (e.g. 1:10,000), and the Graphic Scale uses a bar or line with labeled intervals to show distance on the map and distance on the ground.
