A map with a scale of 1:50 000 (one in fifty thousand) means that 1 centimetre measured on the map represents 50,000 centimetres on the ground.
That depends on the scale you want to use.
The scale on the map is a ratio of real size to that on the map, Say you see a scale that says 1:50 miles, That is telling you that for every 1 inch or cm (depending on the map) is 50 miles in real life. It's to help you get an idea of how far a place is by comparing it to another.

5 kilometres
Each cm represents 5 km → 3 × 1 cm : 3 × 5 km → 3 cm : 15 km 3 cm represents 15 km.
A map scale of 1:175 000 means that 1 centimetre on the map represent 175,000 centimetres on the ground.
A map scale of 1:175 000 means that 1 centimetre on the map represent 175,000 centimetres on the ground.
A map scale of 1:175 000 means that 1 centimetre on the map represent 175,000 centimetres on the ground.
1 centimetre on map is 150.000 centimetres on the ground.Therefore: 7 x 150,000 = 1,050,000 centimetres.Which is 10.5 kilometres on the ground when converted to kilometres.
A map scale of 1:175 000 means that 1 centimetre on the map represent 175,000 centimetres on the ground.
On a map with a scale of 1:50 000 (one to fifty thousand), a centimetre measured on the map represent 50,000 centimetres on the ground.
It is know as the map's scale. For example, a map with a 1:50,000 (one to fifty thousand) means that one centimetre measured on the map, represent 50,000 centimetres on the ground.
A map with a scale of 1:50 000 (one to fifty thousand) means that 1 centimetre measured on the map represent 50,000 centimetres on the ground. The ruler is there to help in measuring distance on the map.
You will have to check the legend of the map to determine what the ratio of Centimeters to Kilometers on your particular map is. Maps come in different sizes and ratios. The ratio is usually found somewhere at the bottom of the map. For example: 10 centimeters could mean 10 kilometers on one map and 100 kilometers on another map.
The scale of a map tells you how much real distance is represented by the units of measurement.... 1 centimetre = 1 kilometre; 1 inch = 1 mile; etc. So a map which was 10 cm x 10 cm would represent an actual area of 10 km x 10 km. If that map hadn't enough room for all the details I wanted to see, I'd have to go for a larger scale map were 1 cm = 0.5 kilometres. In this case a 10cm x 10 cm map would have a 'real' area of 5 kilimetres by 5 kilometres.... one-quarter the area covered in the first map, but in larger details. Small scale map therefore refers to a map where a real distance is represented by a very small unit.
