What is the scale of the map?

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object. A map is a scale drawing of a city.

The scale of a drawing is usually written in this format - length in the drawing, a colon (:), then the matching length on the original image.

Scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

Initial scale = 65 ÷ 3 1/4

65 X 4/13 = 20

1 inch ; 20 miles

New scale = 65 / 6.5 = 1 10

1 inch : 10 miles

Length of the map = (2 x 65) / 11 = 11,8 inches
