Almost all maps should have a distance scale on them, generally located centered under the bottom edge of the map. Often there will be several scales in different units of measurement, and you always want to check if your map measures distances in metric or the standard system. Also be aware, if you are planning a hiking trip, that this distance is the horizontal distance and does not account for changes in altitude.
An inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimeters. If you were looking for the metric conversion of an inch, you would look for the ratio of 1 inch to 2.54 centimeters.

A lake and a railroad are 3 mi from each other in reality. If a map's scale is 4 mi equals 1inch how far apart will they be on the map?
On the map, they will be 3/4 = 0.75 inch apart. The scale of 4 miles to 1 inch means that every 1 inch on the map represents 4 miles in reality. So, 3 miles would be represented by 3/4 inch on the map.
A map has a scale of 1 inch equals 5miles How far is it Barnesville from Carlton if the map distance between them is 3 inches?
Using the map scale, 1 inch represents 5 miles. If the map distance between Barnesville and Carlton is 3 inches, the actual distance between them would be 3 inches x 5 miles = 15 miles.
One half-inch or one-half inch?
"one half-inch" - Grammatically, wrong. One-half anything is correct, but usually 1/2" or even 0.5 inches or 0.5" are far more meaningful to most readers. If we customarily used half-inch as a unit of measure, one half-inch would be sensible as would one half-pint if we used half-pint as a standard unit of measure. But, since we do neither as a general rule, one-half pint, one-half inch, and one-half gallon (except possibly in the case of milk!) would be "standard" (we are no longer allowed by the PC monitors to use "correct" and "incorrect"). Ah, what happened to our promised change to the metric system? Here's a handy test to determine best usage: If you say I have a piece of material that is one half-inch long, wouldn't it then follow that another piece three times as long would be described as being three half-inches long? I think not.
