depends on what the item is. A car to that scale, for example, would be about 4.5 to 5 inches long.

Scale of 1-32 implies 1 inch = 32 inches = 2 ft 8 inches.
1 billion short scale = 109 or 1 billion long scale 1012 1 billion x 1 billion = short scale 1018 1 billion x 1 billion = long scale 1024 109 = 1 billion short scale and 1 milliard long scale. 1012 = 1 trillion short scale and 1billion long scale. 1015 = 1 quadrillion short scale and 1 billiard long scale. 1018 = 1 quintillion short scale and 1 trillion long scale. 1024 = 1 quadrillion short scale and 1 septillion long scale.
If the 10 metres is in the replica/map, then to find out how big the real thing is, you just multiply by 32. In this case we get 10x32 = 320, and so the real thing will be 320m long. If the 10 metres is the real distance, then to find out the length on the replica/map, you need to divide by 32. In this case we get 10/32 = 0.3125, and so the map/replica will be 31.25cm long.
In the short scale system: 1 billion = 109 (1 thousand3) 1 trillion = 1012 (1 thousand4) so 1 trillion = 1,000 billion In the long scale system 1 billion = 1012 (1 million2) 1 trillion = 1018 (1 million3) so 1 trillion = 1,000,000 billion. The US uses the short scale. Until 1974 the UK used the long scale for official statistics and now uses the short scale. Most continental Europe uses the long scale.
