you use a map scale by measuring by inches
It actually depends on the type of map - but if all distances on the map are supposed to represent equal distances in the real world, you can refer to the legend of the map where there should be a scale indicating the ratio of map distance to actual distance - for example, there might be a line at the bottom that is 1 inch long that is labeled "1 mile" meaning that if 2 points on the map are 3.5 inches apart, they are 3.5 miles apart in the real world. If the map covers a big enough area however, you run into the problem that you can't perfectly represent a curved surface on a flat map. If the map is for a small enough area, the discrepancy is negligible, but when a map is covering thousands of miles, the discrepancy starts to become noticeable and you have to compensate for it.
There is no standard scale of a map. The scale used depends on what the map is used for. A motorist may use a 4 miles to 1 inch, a cyclist 1 mile to 1 inch (or 1:50 000), and a walker use 1:25 000 - and so on.

Numbers and measurements. We can use the scale to figure out how big or far something on the map really is.

The map scale represents the ratio of the map to the real thing. For example, a map scale might say that 1 inch equals 1 mile. That would mean that every inch on the map represents a mile for the real thing.
A map scale allows the map user to figure distance on a map as compared to the real distance. For instance on a map scale 1 inch might equal 500 miles.
If details are needed (larger) smaller or fewer details (small)
Depending on what the map is of scale is very important. On a road map of a region you might read 1 inch equals 1 mile, this is so that the map can fit on the paper or computer monitor, actual size is not an option. On a Map of the world the scale might be 1 inch to 1000 miles. Or if if something is drawn to scale it means, that you have one part of the map in feet and the other side in meters.
