This is a scale version of the original. If the scale is less than 1 then the drawing is smaller than the original object. If the scale is greater than 1 then the drawing is larger than the original. If the scale is 1 then the original and the drawing are the same size.
a scale model ~aka~(Scale drawing) in math terms is - The process of drawing a figure either enlarged or reduced in size from its original size. Usually the scale is given, as on a map 1 inch equals 10 miles.----http://dpi.wi.gov/standards/mathglos.html
1:1
10 feet is 120 inches so if this is represented by 8 inches on a drawing the scale is 1:15
It means that one unit of measurement on the drawing represents one hundred times that in reality. eg 1 cm on drawing represents 1 metre in reality.
it depends of the scale of the drawing

The scale on a drawing represents the ratio of the size of the drawing to the actual size of the object. It must be considered to ensure accurate measurements and proportions in the drawing. Using the correct scale helps convey the information clearly and allows others to interpret the drawing accurately.

The "scale" of a drawing is its relation in size to the inspiration. So, for example, if you were drawing a picture of your friend, and it was half the size that she is in real life, the scale would be represented as a ratio of 1:2.
To simplify a scale, convert to the same units, drop the units and divide by their highest common factor: 1 cm = 10 mm drawing : object = 8 mm : 1 cm → 8 mm : 1 × 10 mm → 8 mm : 10 mm → 8 : 10 → 4 : 5 → object is larger than scale drawing.
