How do you read a 1 25 scale

So, as another example, 1:25 (spoken as 'one to twenty-five') should be more easily understood as just saying '1/25' i.e. the drawing or model is 'one twenty-fifth' the size of the original .. or 'twenty-five times smaller'.

How does 1 25 scale work

You know the scale is 1:25, so 1 cm on the diagram represents 25 cm in real life. You have been given the measurements on the diagram and want to work out the actual measurements so you need to multiply. Horizontal length: 12.5 × 25 = 312.5 cm = 3.125 m.

How to read scale 1 2500

Representative Text / Ratio Scale

For example, 1:2500 means that 1 cm = 2500 cm. Because 2500 cm is difficult to interpret, we convert it into an understandable unit. In this case, there are 100 centimeters in a meter. When we convert centimeters to meters, 1 cm on the map is equal to 25 meters in real life.

What does 1 25000 mean on a map

There is a standard ratio format for map scales e.g. “1: 25,000”. The first number is the unit on the map and the second number is the distance in real life of the same unit so 1: 25,000 means that 1cm on the map corresponds to 25,000 cm on the ground.

What is 1km on a 1 25000 map

A map has a scale of 1:25000. This means that 1 cm on the map is 25000 cm in real life, which is 250 m or 0.25 km. It is also useful to note that if 1 cm is 0.25 km, then 4 cm will represent 1 km in real life.

What does 1 25 scale measure

Well, 1:25 means that 1 'unit' on the plan is 25 'units' in real life, so 1cm = 25cm, 1ft=25ft etc. I am pretty sure though that most imperial plans were drawn in a different scale to 1:25 (was it 1:20 or something), but if the plan is definatly 1:25 then yes, you can scale off it to metric measurements!

What kind of scale is 1 24000

The map scale is a fraction with a numerator of 1. The denominator shows how much length on the ground a unit of length on the map represents. On a 1:24,000 map, one cm on the map represents 24,000 cm on the ground. Since the scale is dimensionless, one of any unit represents 24,000 of the same unit on the ground.

When a map has a scale of 1 25000 what does 1 cm on the map represent

A map scale is a ratio of the distance on a map to the actual distance on the ground. The scale of a map shows how much you need to enlarge the map to get the actual size. For example, a scale of 1 : 25,000 means each 1 cm on the map represents 25,000 cm. This is the same as 250 m.

How to read a 1 25000 map

A map scale written as 1:25,000 means one centimetre on the map represents 25,000 centimetres on the ground. However, on the ground, metres or even kilometres are a much more appropriate measurement. If we convert 25,000 centimetres into metres (divide by 100) it is 250 metres, which is easier to get your head around.
