Good question..Never thought about it..

If your scope has 1/4 MOA turrets, it will require 4 clicks to adjust your point of impact approximately 1 inch at 100 yards. The same number of clicks will move you twice as far at 200 yards, 3 times as far at 300 yards, etc.

If you take the tangent of the inverse of 60 and multiply it by the number of inches to the target, you can then multiply by the adjustment you have made to your scope in Minutes of Angle and it will tell you how far you will be adjusting your aim at a given distance.

For example, Tangent(1/60) * 3600 (the number of inches in 100 yards) = 1.047 * 1 = 1.047. This means that a 1 MOA adjustment will move you 1.047 inches at 100 yards. If you replace the 3600 with 7200 (the number of inches in 200 yards), you get 2.094 inches at 200 yards

MOA as WestTnHuntin'Man said isn't exactly one inch at 100 yards. For all practical purposes you can consider your scope adjustments to be 1/8"@100, 1/4@200, 3/8@300, 1/2@400, 5/8@500, etc., etc., etc.. Now if we and all our rifles just shot good enough for us to see that fine a difference.
