The map where 1 inch equals 100 miles
The smaller scale map is the 1 inch to 200 miles. The smaller the ratio (1:100, 1:200 etc) the larger the scale, and the more detail is in the map.
The smaller scale map is the 1 inch to 200 miles scale.
100 miles
200 because it would have more miles in the inch than 100 miles.
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?
The 1 inch to 200 miles is the smaller scale.
200 miles has a smaller scale than 100 miles on an inch
100 miles
The smaller scale map is the 1 inch to 200 miles. The smaller the ratio (1:100, 1:200 etc) the larger the scale, and the more detail is in the map.
The smaller scale map is the 1 inch to 200 miles scale.
1 inch equals 100 miles would be the smaller scale, as 1 inch on the map would be a plot of 100 miles of terrain, as opposed to 200 miles of terrain.

100 miles
200 because it would have more miles in the inch than 100 miles.
A map with 2000 miles per inch would cram more things into the inch than one that uses 1 inch for 1000 miles. So the map with the scale of 1 inch for 1000 miles would show more detail.
