Want this question answered?
it is only to scale. if it says on the map that one inch is one mile, then it is a mile in real life.
The smaller scale map is the 1 inch to 200 miles scale.
The scale would be 1:240
Remember it this way: If you had two model submarines of the same boat, one was 1:50 scale and one was 1:200 scale, which model would be larger?
I may be completely off base here, but since 1 meter = 39.3700787 inches (Google) and the scale is 1 inch to 1 meter, I beleive that makes it 1:39 scale. Basically, one inch on the map scale equals 39 inches in the real world.
This is an example of a scale drawing.
To draw a mile you must choose a scale. For instance, if you choose a scale of 1 mile to the inch, then one inch on paper represents one mile in reality. Or you can simply stipulate that the distance from point A to point B is 1 mile, without requiring a scale.
it is only to scale. if it says on the map that one inch is one mile, then it is a mile in real life.
Different maps have different "scales." If you have a map that says one inch to one mile, you are looking at a large scale map. If you know for a fact that the scale is wrong...that one inch (on the map) does not equal one mile (on the earth), then you should contact the publishing company for the map.
The smaller scale map is the 1 inch to 200 miles scale.
To answer that question, I would need the context which details a scale. If one inch on a scale equals 14 miles, that scale remains the same. So two inches (which equals 1 times 2) would translate into 28 miles (because 14 times 2 is 28). The same would hold true for 400 miles. If one inch equals 400 miles, two inches equals 800 miles, and three inches equals 1200 miles.
The scale would be 1:240
No one inch on am map is not a mile reason is because not all maps are made in scale EX: say you have a huge map and a small map one inch on the big map might be a mile but you should check the scale on the small map if used the same scale could tell you it's one mile form Chicago to New York City
One inch equals 0.0000157828283 miles (rounded). A mile is quite a bit bigger than an inch since it takes 63,360 inches to make a mile.

A map with 2000 miles per inch would cram more things into the inch than one that uses 1 inch for 1000 miles. So the map with the scale of 1 inch for 1000 miles would show more detail.
