How can you represent the statement scale on the map?
The scale on a printed map is the ratio of a distance on the map to the distance on the ground. For example, 1 inch on a 1:250000 scale map would be 250000 inches on the earth.

What is large map scale?
Here is a little trick to know how to tell the difference between a large scale map, and a small scale map. A large scale map is a map where your house would look large on it. For example, a map of your neighborhood, or a map of you area. (You can see you house on this map) A small scale map is a map where your house would look small on it (or you can't see it at all), like a map of the world, or a map of Europe. So large scale = large house small scale = small house.
