The distance representation of 1 inch on the map to the actual distance in feets on ground is 20 feets

The total distance traveled as obtained from the map :

  • (3 + 2 + 1.5 + 0.25) inches = 6.75 inches

  • Hence, distance on the map = 6.75 inches

  • Actual distance of the entire route traveled = 135 feets

This means that ;

  • 6.75 inches on the map = 135 feets on ground

  • 1 inch on the map = 135 ÷ 6.75 = 20

Hence, 1 inch on the map represents 20 feets on the ground.
