The answer depends on
you want to show.
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.
1.57828283 × 10-5 miles in an inch
1 inch would equal one mile because no city is 100 miles. so the map would be a fraction of an inch and that would be hard to read :P same with 500 miles. Hi CVMS!!!
There are no miles in an inch however there are 63,360 inches in a mile
Even the very largest of cities would not measure 40 miles from one side to the other. Therefore a scale of 1 inch to 40 miles would compress the city map into an area the size of a postage stamp. A scale of 1 inch to 400 miles would make it extremely tiny. A fairly large city could be 15 miles from one side to the other. With a scale of 1 inch to 2 miles the map may just fit on an A4 sheet of paper. 1 inch to 1 mile would fit A3. 1 inch to 1/4 mile would require 16 sheets of A3 which would be unwieldy. Depending on the size of the city and size of the paper on which you wish to print the map it looks as though a scale of 1 inch to 3/4 mile or 1inch to 1 mile would be preferable.
Zero miles are in an inch because an inch is too small for a mile to fit in
Personally, I would use metric measures, but if you still use Imperial measures, then 1 inch to 1 mile is best.
it depends on how big you want your map to be...if you pick one inch to one mile then it will be alot bigger...if you pick one inch to 500 miles then it will be smaller
1 inch is 0.000015783 miles.1 mile is 63,360 inches.
What an interesting way to address a being's sense of scale. I'm a 71-inch tall being, so that would make the top of me 71-miles high. My ankles would be just below the limits of Earth's atmosphere and my eyes would be about 67-miles high.
One mile is equal to 63360 inches. Therefore, one inch is equal to 1/63360 miles.
1 mile = 63 360 inch
