A scale drawing.
It is a scale drawing
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.
because it has to be proportional
It is the scale ratio or scale factor
The answer depends on what aspect of the scale drawing you wish to calculate.
it depends of the scale of the drawing
# is the ratio of the demensions in the drawing to the corresponding actual dimensions. The scale factor for a scale drawing is the ratio of the dimensions in the drawing to the corresponding acual bimensions.
scale questions
Oh, what a delightful question! To find the scale of the drawing, we simply need to divide the height of the real giraffe (5.5 meters) by the height of the drawing (7 centimeters). This will give us the scale of the drawing, which in this case is 1:78. Isn't that just lovely? Just remember, there are no mistakes in art, only happy little accidents.
Not all drawings are done to scale, sketches of buildings and people for instance. However if it is a technical drawing the draughtsman/woman will state on the drawing the scale used.

The scale drawing in math is fun. You have to know the challenge level of the basic Mathematics.
The scale indicates how many units of length of the actual object are represented by each unit of length in the drawing.
