It means for it's dimesions to be porportional to the original. For example, lets say there's a rectangular prism with a width of 6 units, height of 2 units, and depth of 4 units. A model (in this case smaller than actual object) could be width 3, height 1, depth 2. So you divide or multiply each dimension by the same number to get a model to scale.

Raul is making a scale model of an airplane that has a wingspan of 44 feet. If Raul's scale model is 116116 the size of the actual airplane what is the wingspan of his model?
