Hope this helps:

1. 1 unit on the map is equal to 25,000 units on the ground
2. 1 unit on the map is equal to 6,000,000 units on the ground
3. 1 unit on the map is equal to 15,000 units on the ground
4. 1 unit n the map is equal to 55,000 units on the ground
5. 1 unit on the map is equal to 75,000,000 units on the ground
6. 1 unit on the map is equal to 200,000 units on the ground
7. 1 unit on the map is equal to 1,000,000 units on the ground
8. 1 unit on the map is equal to 250,000 units on the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

When reading a scale and they don't give any specific measurement (km, m, miles, etc.) you use units instead. So for example, the measurement of a map on the ground is in km, and the scale is 1:50,000 it means that 1 unit on the drawn map is equal to 50,000 kilometres on the actual ground.

N.B.- that 1 unit can either be in inches or centimetres when drawing the map
