Ratio or relationship between the measure of the representation of an object and the real measure of the object.
Symbol
The symbol generally used to compare a measure and its representation is “[latex]≙[/latex]” which means “corresponds to.”
Example
The relationship “1 cm [latex]≙[/latex] 1 km” is written on many maps, meaning that a distance of 1 cm on the map corresponds to a real distance of 1 km in the real world.
