Question

map scale practice
maps can be drawn to represent a variety of information. this information might include things such as roads, buildings, or distance. to measure distance on a map, we use a map scale. different maps call for different types of measurements, so we must choose an appropriate map scale to use.
for example: the scale of 1 inch = 1 foot would not suit a map of a city because a city is too large to be measured in feet.
below is a list of different types of maps and map scales. draw a line from each map on the left to a map scale on the right that would best suit it.

1. a map of the city of san francisco.
2. a map of the earth.
3. a map of an aquarium.
4. a map of your house.
5. a map of your bathroom.
6. a map of your local park.
7. a map of a dog house.
8. a map of your local mall.
9. a map of the pacific ocean.
10. a map of a college campus.

Explanation:

Match the size of the area to the appropriate scale. Larger areas need smaller - scale maps (more real - world distance per map unit), and smaller areas need larger - scale maps (less real - world distance per map unit).

Answer:

1. A map of the city of San Francisco: 1 inch = 1 mile
2. A map of the Earth: 1 inch = 100 million miles
3. A map of an aquarium: 1 inch = 1 foot
4. A map of your house: 1 inch = 1 foot
5. A map of your bathroom: 1 inch = 1 inch

7. A map of a dog house: 1 inch = 1 inch
8. A map of your local mall: 1 inch = 1 mile
9. A map of the Pacific Ocean: 1 inch = 500 miles
10. A map of a college campus: 1 inch = 1 mile
