When designing a map of a city, it is important to consider the scale to accurately represent the features of the city. If you let 1 inch equal 1 mile, the map would be too large for a city as it would require a lot of space. On the other hand, if you let 1 inch equal 100 miles, the map would be too small and lack detail. Therefore, a scale of 1 inch equaling 500 miles would be more appropriate for a city map as it strikes a balance between detail and size.

If you were designing a map of your own city would you let 1 inch equal one fourth mile 40 miles or 400 miles why?

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.

How many street blocks in 0.04 miles?

The length of a street or avenue block is different in each city. In New York City, 17 to 20 street blocks (north/south blocks) equals a mile, which means that one block is equal to 0.05 to 0.06 miles. So 0.04 miles would be less than one block.
