direct scale gets onto a source of cows in a herd when representive fraction is relating to an outrage of pigs eating cows in a herd.... yup.

a linear scale is a special kind of ruler that is divided into units of distance a representative..... what ever the scales called lol is a scale that is a ratio and doesn't use words in the measurment... it's an extended version of a large- scale map ex- 1:10 0000
They are verbal scale, Linear Scale and fraction scale.
The normal scales in which temperature is measured - Fahrenheit or Celsius - are interval scales but not ratio scales. This is because the 0 points are arbitrary. As a consequence, the difference between two fixed temperature cannot be expressed as a fraction.For example 10 deg C is NOT 10 times as warm as 1 deg C.
A linear scale, also known as a graphic scale, visually represents distance on a map through a marked line, making it easy to measure distances directly. In contrast, a representative fraction (RF) scale expresses the ratio of map distance to ground distance numerically, such as 1:50,000, indicating that one unit on the map equals 50,000 of the same units on the ground. Key differences include: 1) visual representation vs. numerical ratio, 2) ease of use for quick measurements vs. accuracy in calculations, 3) applicability to various map sizes vs. fixed ratio, 4) potential for distortion in linear scales at different zoom levels vs. consistent scaling in RF, and 5) linear scales can be affected by changes in map size when printed, whereas RF remains constant regardless of size changes.
There is no particular name unless the two measurements are on absolute scales. For example, the fraction 5/41 compares the equivalent temperatures: 5 deg Celsius and 41 deg Fahrenheit. But the equivalent fraction 10/82 does not compare equivalent temperatures since 10 deg C = 50 deg F. So the fraction has no particular meaning and so no name.
