Question

Select the map scale distances that represent the following actual distances if the scale is 1 inch = 1,000 feet.

4,000 feet =
inches

21,000 feet =
inches

40 feet =
inch

Answer 1

Scale: 1 in = 1,000 ft, so inches = feet ÷ 1,000.

4,000 ft = 4,000 ÷ 1,000 = 4 inches
21,000 ft = 21,000 ÷ 1,000 = 21 inches
40 ft = 40 ÷ 1,000 = 0.04 inch (= 1/25 inch)
