Answer:
Linear measures (measures of length and width) are at a scale of 1:500; or
for every "real life" yard, the map would be "1/500" yard long.
Thus for measures of area, such as hectares, the map would would be 1/(500)² as big.
So: (3/5 = .6) hectares would be .6/(500)² hectares = .0000024 hectares.
And since 1 hectare = 15500031 in²;
the area on the map would be 15500031 (.0000024) in² ~ 37.2 in² ~ 240 cm²
