If the scale is 1 to 16, then each dimension in the real world is 16 times its size on the drawing, and its size on the drawing is 1/16 of its real size. The barn must be drawn 2-ft high on the plans.
It shows how it relates to the actual house. Without scale, you would need as much paper as there is house. Example: a 30 foot house with the scale of 30:1 would be drawn as being 1 foot tall.
It is a finite scale. It could be a ratio scale.
