Question

Construct a graphical scale for scale 1 inch = 1 mile and which can be read in furlongs and miles.

Answer 1

For graphical scale, to know the length of the line we need to make following calculations.

1 inch = 1 mile

Since 1 inch = 1 mile and therefore, 6 inches = 6 miles We can make the graph by following steps:

First of all draw a 6 inches line and divide it in 6 important parts. Except one part from the left, let us give all parts a distance of one 1 inch. Now divide the first part in 4 equal parts and each part will be equal to 0.25 inch.
