A representative fraction is often used in cartography to express the scale of a map, indicating the ratio between a distance on the map and the corresponding distance on the ground. For example, if a map has a representative fraction of 1:50,000, it means that 1 unit of measurement on the map equals 50,000 of the same units in reality. This allows users to accurately gauge distances and understand the scale of the represented area.
