∙ 13y agoGraphical method: A bar divided into smaller bars is labeled with feet or miles.
(Note with this method, if the map is enlarged or reduced on a copier, you
can still find real-world distances) Also, this is typically the type of scale
shown on an online map (such as Yahoo, Google, or Bing)
Verbal method: example 1 inch = 10 miles
1 inch on the map represents 10 miles (or 4.5 inches represent 45 miles)
Fractional method: it might say something like 1:50000 or 1/50000
1 inch on the map represents 50000 inches in the real world
in this example 50000 inches is about 0.789 miles, so if you measured
4.0 inches, multiply by 0.789 to get 3.156 miles.
Note that this last method is not dependent on metric or English system,
so for 1:50000, 1 cm represents 50000 cm (or 500 meters or 0.5 km)
