A scale drawing.
It is a scale drawing
It is the scale ratio or scale factor
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.
