tar this is not the case , i gave them as an example

Yes I can do that but I want to find out where is my confusion 1:25 showing 25 subdivisions (tiny lines) right ? http://imgur.com/a/CmVFe While for 1:75 showing 20 subdivisions (tiny lines) right ? http://imgur.com/a/42AyT

>> The scale and the number of subdivisions are not necessarily related. << I couldn't be convinced

Thanks Strange if each division would be 20 mm that means our ratio should be 1:20 not 1:25 right ??

Dear folks Yes I do understand scale ration 1:25 means 1 unit on a map equal to 25 units on a real and scale ration 1:75 means 1 unit on a map equal to 75 units on real Question my Kent tri scale ruler showing first number for ratio 1:25 as 0.5 m (i.e 50 cm, 500 mm) while first reading for ratio 1:75 as 1 m (100 cm, 1000mm) ? My confusion for the ratio 1:25 ruler has 25 small tiny line between 0 and next reading means 25 units right ?? if I multiply 25*25 = 625 why scale reads it as 500 mm or 0.5 m???? Same thing for the ratio 1:75 ruler has 20 small tiny lines between 0 and next reading means 20 units right ?? if I multiply 20*75 = 1500 why do I have 1000 mm or 1 m ???? Thanks
