Remarks

Scale is the relationship between the dimensions of features on a map and the geographic objects they represent on the earth, commonly expressed as a fraction or a ratio. A map scale of 1/100,000 or 1:100,000 means that one unit of measure on the map equals 100,000 of the same units on the earth.

The MapScale property is really a shortcut to IDisplayTransformation::ScaleRatio.
