Question - If we enlarge a map with a scale 1:200,000 two times,

If we enlarge a map with a scale 1:200,000 two times, what will be the scale of the new map?

Solution: Previous scale = 1: 200,000 or 1/200,000 

The scale of the new map = 1/200,000 × 2 = 1/100,000 or 1:100,000 

The scale of the new map (1:100, 000) is two times larger than the scale of the old map, (1: 200,000)
