Origional Question: If two Towns are 3 inches apart on the map and in real dimensions they are 15 miles apart what is the scale of the map?
You have to take the real length, which in this case is 15 miles and divide it by the scaled down version, which in this case is 3 inches.
15 / 3 = 5
Therefore, the scale of the map is 1 inch equals 5 miles. Because 15 miles divided by 3 inches gives a rate of 5 miles per inch. I hope this helped. Good luck and God Bless.
