" 1:12,000 " is an example of a scale on a map. (choice-A)

It tells you how many units of distance in the real world are represented by one unit of distance on the printed map.

For example, if the scale of the map is 1:12,000 , then one inch on the map represents 12,000 inches (1,000 feet) of distance in the real world that the map describes.

the answer is to check all of them! they all apply well at least i think so!
