Sure. That would be OK.
16 inches on the map would represent (16 x 1500) = 24,000 miles, roughly the earth's circumference.
16 inches or a little bit bigger to represent the whole surface of the earth, cut up and flattened out ...
that's reasonable.
Map scales are given in 1 of 3 ways. The type of scale in your question is called the simple verbal scale. A scale of 1in equals 1,500 miles would certainly not be used on a map of a city and only on an overview map of the world. To put it in perspective, the earth's circumference at the equator is 24, 902 miles so depicting the world on a scale of 1in equals 1,500 miles would give a map width of only 16.6013in (40.957cm).
Or put it like this, on a map with a scale of 1in equals 1,500 miles, the USA would be roughly 1.333in wide and the Atlantic Ocean only 2.5in wide. A map drawn to a scale of 1in equals 1,500 miles would only be suitable for overviews to depict countries and oceans in relation to each other. It would be too small to show any real detail.
Another type of scale is the fractional scale. If the scale is 1:1,500, this would equate roughly to a verbal scale of 1in equals1/4 mile, which would be a far more suitable scale for a city map.
The smaller the distance represented by 1 inch on a map's scale, the larger the scale [ ratio of a map distance to the actual real distance ].
So, the 1 Inch = 100 miles is TWICE the scale of the other in your case.
That would be a world map. To give you a reference, the US from east coast to west coast is about 3000 miles. So the length on a map of the US would be about 2 inches.

The "scale" of a map is a proportionality constant between distances on the map and corresponding distances on the area the map represents. Call the unknown number of inches n. Then 1/2 = n/12, or n = 6.
Look for the units on the Scale itself. It may either be milligrams or grams itself, depending upon your Digital scale. it would equal 3200 g on a scale
You would use a scale. You are NOT smarter than a 5th grader!
The smaller scale map is the 1 inch to 200 miles scale.
The map with the scale of 1in to 100 miles will show twice as much detail as 1in to 200 miles.
how you would use the scale in miles to estimate to total area of Madagascar
That would probably be a 1:64th scale model.
On that scale... 6 inches !
That depends entirely on what the scale of the map is.
You should probably finish your question.

1 inch equals 100 miles would be the smaller scale, as 1 inch on the map would be a plot of 100 miles of terrain, as opposed to 200 miles of terrain.
5 inches will equal 10 miles if the scale is 1 inch equals 2 miles
On the scale 1 inch:2 miles. 12 miles would be 6 inches
It requires a wind force of 12 or more on the Beaufort Scale equaling or exceeding 118 kilometers per hour
