Final answer:

A map with a scale of 1:24,000 does not represent 24,000 of the same unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

A map with a scale of 1:24,000 would not represent 24,000 of the same unit.

The scale 1:24,000 means that for every 1 unit on the map, it represents 24,000 of the same units in reality.

So, if the scale is in inches, every inch on the map represents 24,000 inches in reality.

The scale is a ratio that compares a distance on the map to the corresponding distance in reality.
