Question

On a map with a scale of 1:62,500, a measured distance of 4.5 in. represents an actual distance of _______

On a map with a scale of 1:250,000, a measured distance of 4.5 in. represents an actual distance of _______

On a map with a scale of 1:50,000, a measured distance of 7.5 cm. represents an actual distance of _______

If a measured distance of 10 in, on a map represents an actual distance of 5 miles, what is the fractional scale of the map?

Why isn't "0" at the far left of map scales?

How does the Eckert Projection maintain equivalence in the high latitudes? (Hint: What happens to the meridians?)

1) 4.5 inches = 4.5 x 2.54 cm = 11.43 cm

Actual distance = 11.43 x 62500 cm = 714.375 km

2) 11.43 cm x 250000 = 2857.5 km

3) 7.5 x 2.54 x 50000 = 952.5 km

4) 1 mile is 63360 inches

5 miles is 316800 , so scale is 10 in : 316800 in = 1 : 31680
