One mile is equal to 63,360 inches, so yes, a mile is bigger than an inch.
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.
Centimeter, inch, foot, yard, meter, hectometer, mile. This is annoying because they are not easily compared, because the meter is not in terms of feet nor is the inch in terms of centimeters etc...
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.
1 inch = 0.00002 mile
about 8 inch
1.57828283 × 10-5 miles in an inch
A mile is 63,360 times greater than an inch.
There are no miles in an inch however there are 63,360 inches in a mile

It takes 63,360 inches end-to-end to cover one mile, so it seems to us that the inch is probably smaller than the mile.
