What it means is that one inch on the map represents 24,000 inches on the ground. Or one centimeter on the map represents 24,000 centimeters on the ground (or any other unit you want to choose). Below the ratio scale is a graphic scale representing distance in miles, feet and meters. The graphic scale can be used to make fast estimates of distances on the map.
If the distance between two points on a map is 6.5 centimetres and the scale of that map is 1 centimetre to 10 000 centimetres (also 1:10 000 or 1/10 000), then in the real world the measured distance would represent 65 000 centimetres (or 650 metres). Example 1.
