How to use scales to estimate distances

Scales are ratios commonly used to contain great extensions of land in images and maps and offer a quick though efficient manner to estimate distances. The real distance between Hoopersville and Michael's home town can be found thorugh this formula:

d' = d / r      

Where:

  • r - Scale, in inches per mile
  • d - Reduced distance, in inches
  • d' - Real distance, in miles

If we know that d = 3.5 in and r = 1.5 in / 50 mi, then the real distance between Hooperville and Michael's hown town is:

d' = 3.5 in / (1.5 in / 50 mi)

d' = 116.667 mi

The real distance between Hooperville and Michael's home town is 116.667 miles.
