As Ms Sue said, it depends on the scale on your map
Usually at the bottom of your map you will see something like this
1 : 100 000
What that means is that for each unit on the map you would have 100 000 of the same units in real life
e.g for the above scale
1 cm on the map would be
100 000 cm in reality
= 1000 m
= 1 km
so for a scale of 1 : 100000
1 cm ---> 1 km
