You will have to check the legend of the map to determine what the ratio of Centimeters to Kilometers on your particular map is. Maps come in different sizes and ratios. The ratio is usually found somewhere at the bottom of the map.
For example: 10 centimeters could mean 10 kilometers on one map and 100 kilometers on another map.
A map scale of 1:175 000 means that 1 centimetre on the map represent 175,000 centimetres on the ground.
Each cm represents 5 km → 3 × 1 cm : 3 × 5 km → 3 cm : 15 km 3 cm represents 15 km.
4880/2000 = 2.44 Therefore, working on the same scale, a distance of 4880 kilometres would be translated on the map as 2.44 centimetres.
Map scales often show distances in both miles and kilometers (kilometres in Australia).
A map scaled at 1:175000 means that one centimetre on the map represents 175,000 centimetres on the ground.
A map scale of 1:175 000 means that 1 centimetre on the map represent 175,000 centimetres on the ground.
A map scale of 1:175 000 means that 1 centimetre on the map represent 175,000 centimetres on the ground.
A map scale of 1:175 000 means that 1 centimetre on the map represent 175,000 centimetres on the ground.
1 centimetre on map is 150.000 centimetres on the ground.Therefore: 7 x 150,000 = 1,050,000 centimetres.Which is 10.5 kilometres on the ground when converted to kilometres.
A map scale of 1:175 000 means that 1 centimetre on the map represent 175,000 centimetres on the ground.
On a map with a scale of 1:50 000 (one to fifty thousand), a centimetre measured on the map represent 50,000 centimetres on the ground.
Each cm represents 5 km → 3 × 1 cm : 3 × 5 km → 3 cm : 15 km 3 cm represents 15 km.
4 kilometres. Every 2 centimetres you will have travelled 1 kilometre. As 2 goes into 8 four times we have 4 kilometres.
1:10,000 represents a scale of 1cm to every 10,000cm. 10,000 centimetres is equal to one metre.
4880/2000 = 2.44 Therefore, working on the same scale, a distance of 4880 kilometres would be translated on the map as 2.44 centimetres.
A map with a scale of 1:50 000 (one to fifty thousand) means that 1 centimetre measured on the map represent 50,000 centimetres on the ground. The ruler is there to help in measuring distance on the map.
It would represent 6 inches!
