The scale represents the relation of the map (or model or what ever else) to what it is meant to represent. A 1:1 scale model of a Lamborghini would be exactly the same size as a real car. A 1:10 scale model is 1/10th as big, so every inch or cm or meter on the model would represent 10 inches or cm or meters on the real car. It doesn't matter with scales what unit is used, it is a constant relationship
