How you would scale up the ratio 10 boys to 14 girls to find equivalent ratios?
by multpulying 10 to 14 by 2
What is the difference between scale and scale factor?
The scale gives the ratio that compares the measurements of the drawing or model to the measurements of the real object. Scale factor is a scale written as a ratio without units in simplest from.
How are the dimensions of a scale model related to the actual dimensions of the object?
When it is a scale model the model is proportional to the actual object only much smaller.
How do you plot a logarithmic scale?

What number has 1 with 30 zeros following it?
The number 1 x 1030 is a nonillion (US short scale) or quintillion (European long scale).(see the related link)
How are ratios and scale factors different?
Ratios show the information of the side lengths scale factors show the information of how they are related
What do aeronautical engineers use ratios and proportions for?
I'm sure they use ratios and proportions at many different points in the practice of their profession. One obvious application is in construction of exact scale models of aircraft and their components for wind-tunnel tests.
What is similar about scale factor and proportions?
proportions are used in scale factors; scale factors ARE proportions
What can you use to measure proportions?
You can use ratios, percentages, or fractions to measure proportions. These measures provide a way to compare the size or quantity of one part of a whole in relation to the entire amount.
What is similar about scale and scale factor?
proportions are used in scale factors; scale factors ARE proportions
How is a scale factor related to scale drawings?
The scale factor of a scale drawing is the ratio of any length in the drawing to the true corresponding length in the "real" object.
Is an object similar to a scale drawing of the object?
No, an object is a physical entity with three-dimensional properties, while a scale drawing is a two-dimensional representation of the object's dimensions in a smaller or larger scale. Scale drawings provide a visual representation of an object's proportions and layout, but they do not capture the full physical characteristics of the actual object.
How are proportions useful in the real world?
Proportions are useful in the real world for scaling, estimating, and comparing quantities. They allow us to make predictions and solve problems involving ratios of different amounts. For example, proportions are used in cooking recipes to scale ingredients, in finance to calculate interest rates, and in design to maintain balance and harmony.
Where to find technical drawings of space shuttle to build a scaled model?
See the Related Link below for a site which has scale drawings. There is also a link which provides details of publications containing various modelling instructions for space related vehicles.
What does not to scale mean?
Not to scale indicates something done NOT according to the proportions of an established scale of measurement
How are scale drawings used?
Scale drawings are used by artists, architects and builders to get an accurate drawing either smaller or larger than the actual thing is.
What is the ratios of a length on a scale drawing to the corresponding length on the real object?
The scale factor.
