Sure. That would be OK.
16 inches on the map would represent (16 x 1500) = 24,000 miles, roughly the earth's circumference.
16 inches or a little bit bigger to represent the whole surface of the earth, cut up and flattened out ...
that's reasonable.

15 knots = 17.3 miles per hour15 Knots is 17.27 miles per hour.
The "scale" of a map is a proportionality constant between distances on the map and corresponding distances on the area the map represents. Call the unknown number of inches n. Then 1/2 = n/12, or n = 6.
Look for the units on the Scale itself. It may either be milligrams or grams itself, depending upon your Digital scale. it would equal 3200 g on a scale
You would use a scale. You are NOT smarter than a 5th grader!
The smaller scale map is the 1 inch to 200 miles scale.
The map with the scale of 1in to 100 miles will show twice as much detail as 1in to 200 miles.
how you would use the scale in miles to estimate to total area of Madagascar
That would probably be a 1:64th scale model.
On that scale... 6 inches !
That depends entirely on what the scale of the map is.
You should probably finish your question.
That would be a world map. To give you a reference, the US from east coast to west coast is about 3000 miles. So the length on a map of the US would be about 2 inches.
When designing a map of a city, it is important to consider the scale to accurately represent the features of the city. If you let 1 inch equal 1 mile, the map would be too large for a city as it would require a lot of space. On the other hand, if you let 1 inch equal 100 miles, the map would be too small and lack detail. Therefore, a scale of 1 inch equaling 500 miles would be more appropriate for a city map as it strikes a balance between detail and size.
On the scale 1 inch:2 miles. 12 miles would be 6 inches
1 inch equals 100 miles would be the smaller scale, as 1 inch on the map would be a plot of 100 miles of terrain, as opposed to 200 miles of terrain.
5 inches will equal 10 miles if the scale is 1 inch equals 2 miles
