What is the scale on a map that shows 2 cities that are 400 miles apart as 2.5 inches apart?
The scale is simply how many miles there are to an inch or how many miles are represented by an inch etc etc. To do this you divide the amount of miles or the larger amount by the inches the smaller amount. 400/2.5 = 160 . The scale is 160 miles per inch. Proof - 160 + 160 + 80 = 400 miles ---->>>> 1 + 1 + .5 = 2.5 inches
