Answer 1

Are you talking about the actual scale thingy if you zoom in a little bit you can see it.

Answer 2

i mean like 1:? how many miles is an inch?

Answer 3

To find the scale find out the real length and measure the same on ur map. the scale is the ratio of the two

Answer 4

@Geometry_Hater the real length of florida? :/

Answer 5

this map http://moourl.com/maptwo has a scale of 1:18...

Answer 6

but i can't figure out what the first map scale is

Answer 7

That's a tough one. I'm not sure what how many inches equal miles on the first one, but the left hand side describing the stats for the map has the RF scale of the map set as this:

1:1,100,000

Answer 8

yea, i saw that too......but i know for a fact that florida is not millions of miles long lol

Answer 9

lol, that's true! Actually, the RF scale just means that for every, say, inch on the map, it equals 1,100,000 inches in real life.

Not sure how that can translate back to the kind of scale you are looking for, though, sorry...

Answer 10

wel, i guess i have to find out how many inches are in a mile?

Answer 11

Answer 12

Are you looking for the real length of Florida?

Answer 14

1:17.4!

Answer 15

You got it?

Answer 16

1 mile = 63360 inches. 1100000 inches = about 17.4 miles

Answer 17

does that sound right?

Answer 18
