Question

A map with a scale of 1:24,000 means that _____.

Answer 1

1 inch on the map corresponds to 2000 feet on the ground

Explanation:

The scale factor is the ratio of map distance to actual distance. 1 unit on the map corresponds to 24,000 of the same unit of actual distance. For example, 1 cm on the map will represent 24,000 cm = 240 m on the ground.
