Reading and using statement of scale graphic scale and scale shown by representative fraction method?
To convert map measurements to actual distance, measure the scale distance on the map and multiply by the denominator of the scale (the larger number in the ratio). e.g. two cm on a 1:25000 map equals 2x25000 = 50,000 cm or 500 meters.
How do you measure the distance of an area on a map with paper?
Use the scale given in the map. Measure the distance by tracing the road with a string. Then measure the string. eg.10 cm. This is the working to get the distance: scale given = 2 cm distance n cm. = 10 cm = 10/2 = 5 ans=The distance on actual ground is 5 km.
What does a map scale represend on a map?
DistanceThe scale shows the relationship between the measurement between 2 points on a map, and the distance between those points in real life.E.g.A map has a scale of 1cm : 20 kmLets say that you want to travel from point A to point B, which on the map is 2.5 cm apart. All you do is look at the key to find the true distance...2.5 x 20 = 50 km
What is the actual distance for the map distances of 9cm?
The distance on maps and actual distance on the ground depend on the scale of the maps if you chose 1 cm for one kilometer than it will be 9 kilometer on the ground.This is the simple understanding and dont be confuse with the calculation of cm. M.Saleem
What does 1 24000 on a map mean?
The map scale is 1:24000 which means lengths on the map are 1/24000th of the actual distance represented. 1 cm = 24000 cm = 240 meters (1 in = .38 mi) This is a mid-scale map suitable for a small town or city map where streets will be about 1 to 3 mm apart.
If a map of your area has a scale of 1 24000 what does this mean?
It means that a distance of 1 cm on the map represents a distance of 24000 cm or 240 metres in real life.
The direct statement scale of a map is 1cm to 20km If the map distance between 2 cities is 6 cm what is the real distance?
To find the real distance between the cities, multiply the map distance by the scale. In this case, 6 cm multiplied by 20 km would give you a real distance of 120 km between the two cities.

A map is drawn to a scale of 1to200000 a on the map the distance between Canterbury and Dover is 13 cm work out the real distance in kilometers between Canterbury and Dover?
1/ 200000 = 13 cm/ x x= 2600000 cm x= 26 km between Canterbury and Dover
The fractional scale of your road map is 1 cm 20km what distance on the road is represented by a distance 6.5 cm on the map?
It is 20 km * 6.5 = 130 km.
What is a small map scale?
The scale of a map tells you how much real distance is represented by the units of measurement.... 1 centimetre = 1 kilometre; 1 inch = 1 mile; etc. So a map which was 10 cm x 10 cm would represent an actual area of 10 km x 10 km. If that map hadn't enough room for all the details I wanted to see, I'd have to go for a larger scale map were 1 cm = 0.5 kilometres. In this case a 10cm x 10 cm map would have a 'real' area of 5 kilimetres by 5 kilometres.... one-quarter the area covered in the first map, but in larger details. Small scale map therefore refers to a map where a real distance is represented by a very small unit.
If the distance of map is 50cm and the scale of the map is 250,000given.what is the distance of the ground?
In this case you have a map with a scale of 1:250000, meaning 1 map unit represents 250000 units on the actual ground. Since the distance on the map is 50 cm(centimeters) we calculate the distance as follows Distance on the ground = distance on the map * the scale 50 cm * 250000 giving us 12 500 000. Therefore, the distance on the ground is 12 500 000 centimeters.
A map scaled at 175000 is considered to be which of following?
On 1:175,000 scale map one cm on the map represents 175,000 cm or 1.75 km (~1 mile) in the real world.

A map uses a scale of 3 cm to 5 km. A distance on the map is 18 cm. What is the actual distance?
18cm * 5km/3cm = 6*5 km = 30 km
A map has a scale of 1 cm to 4 km the distance between two places on the map is 2.5 cm What is the distance between the two places?
2.5 x 4 = 10 km
If two locations are 1 km apart in actuality but only 1 cm apart on a map what is the map's scale?
To find the scale:Convert the measurements to the same units (usually the smaller units)drop the unitssimplify1 m = 100 cm 1 km = 1,000 m = 1,000 × 100 cm = 100,000 cmMap scales are given with the map figure, then the real-life figure→ map scale is 1 cm : 1 km (1cm on the map represents 1 km in the real world)= 1 cm : 100,000 cm= 1 : 100,000(This final scale means that 1 whatever measured on the map represents 100,000 of the same whatevers measured in the real world, ie 1mm on the map is 100,000 mm = 100 m in the real world, 1 cm on the map is 100,000 cm = 1 km in the real world, etc.)
