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.
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.

An example of a false equivalence. It incorrectly compares two different units of measurement that are not equal in any way.
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.

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.
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

It depends on the scale being used. In the most common scales, one-half inch represents 220 yards or 1/8 mile.
One inch on a map scale represents a certain distance in the real world, such as 1 mile or 1 kilometer. The specific distance represented by one inch on a map scale depends on the scale of the map, which is typically expressed as a ratio (e.g., 1:24,000).
