your boss askied you to go to Chevys and pick up a burger for him. You can't decide whether to drive or walk. If it's less than a mile to chevys, you'll walk and get some exercise.
The map you have has a ratio scale of 1:24,000. One inch on the map equals 24,000 inches in the real world.
You measure two inches on the map from your office to Chevys..
1) How far is it, in feet, from your office to Chevys
2) Do you drive or walk?

if you guys over there were smart enough you would change your stupid system to the metric system so these simple calculations could be made without the help of a calculator

It should have been you're NOT your!! This mistake is so common now a days, its just like people mixing up ect when its actually etc.

and the answer would be 4000ft, so walk.

...and I agree with danio that the metric system needs to be implemented everywhere although I dont see that happening in the neat future. In most of the engineering industry they use imperial units, pick any of the major companies in Britain; Rolls Royce, Atkins, BAE Systems any one and they all use Imperial units, but there is certainly a push to standardize metric units in Europe in all industries.
