How do I use a map scale?
Multiply the number of inches on the map times the scale to determine the true distance. For example, if the distance on the map was 5.5 inches and the scale was 1:6,336,000, the true distance would be 550 miles. To convert an area, convert the dimensions using the scale and then find the true area.
How do you work out the scale of a map?
First, find yourself a map. Then, using two points, find both the distance on the map and the true distance. Next, you divide the true distance by the measured map distance, and find your scale.
