Graphic and fractional scales are two different things. A graphic scale on a map is a line marked with the lengths which represent real distances. It has a zero at one end. A fractional scale simply gives the ratio between map and real distances, e.g. 1: 10 000, so zero doesn't come into it.
Simple, you're dealing with two diferently scaled maps. Topographic maps are drawn to scale. This means that distances on a map are proportional to distances on the ground. For example, if two cities 20 miles apart are shown 4 inches apart on a map, then any other locations that are 4 inches apart on the map are also 20 miles apart. This proportion, the map scale, is constant for the map so it holds for any points on the map. In this example the proportion between equivalent distances on the map and on the ground is expressed as a scale of 1 inch = 5 miles, that is 1 inch on the map is equal to 5 miles on the ground. The simplest form of map scale is a VERBAL SCALE. A verbal scale just states what distance on a map is equal to what distance on the ground, i.e. 1 inch = 5 miles from the example above. Though verbal scales are easy to understand, you usually will not find them printed on topographic maps. Other types of scale used are the fractional scale and the bar scale. In the case of your question, 1in = 5miles equates roughly to a fractional scale of 1:312,500 and 1in = 2miles equates roughly to a fractional scale of 1:125,000
A fractional portion is part of a whole portion

Well the fractional lengths is the length of a fraction

No, the fractional scale of a map does not change when it is enlarged. The fractional scale is a fixed ratio that remains constant regardless of the size of the map. It represents the relationship between distances on the map and actual distances on the ground.

a verbal scale expresses distance as a statement, such as " one centimeter is equal to one kilometer" a graphic scale consist of the line that represents a certain distance, such as 5km or 5 miles. a fractional scale expresses ratios, such as 1:63 500. this means 1 unit on the map is 63 500 units on earths surface.
1:100,000
The fractional scale on a map represents the ratio between the distance on the map and the actual distance on the ground. It is typically written as a fraction, such as 1:50,000, indicating that one unit of measurement on the map is equivalent to 50,000 of the same units in the actual world. This scale helps users understand the relationship between map distances and real-world distances.
The three map scales are small scale, medium scale, and large scale. Small scale maps cover large areas with less detail, medium scale maps cover regions with more detail, and large scale maps cover smaller areas with the most detail.
(63360 x 5in) / 10in on map = 31,680 ==> the fraction scale is 1:31,680
A fractional scale is a way that map makers tell you what distances on the map represent in real life. It does not use any units, so the scale might state 1:100000 [or 1/100000] which means that 1 unit on the map represents 100000 units in the real world. For example if you measure off 1 cm on the map, this represents 100000 cm (equivalent to 1000 m or 1 km) in the real world. See related link, below.
It is 20 km * 6.5 = 130 km.
An 'O' drill bit is a decimal size, 0.3160 inch, which is between 5/16 and 21/64 on the fractional inch scale.
