To convert from actual inches to 1/50 scale inches:
\[ \text{Scale Inches} = \frac{\text{Actual Inches}}{50} \]
Where:
Converting from actual inches to 1/50 scale inches involves dividing the real measurement by the scale factor. In a 1/50 scale, each inch in reality is represented as \(\frac{1}{50}\) inch on the model. This conversion is useful for model builders and designers to accurately determine the size of their scaled models based on real-world dimensions.
Assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Scale Inches} = \frac{100}{50} = 2 \text{ inches} \]
The scale measurement is 2 inches.
Assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Scale Inches} = \frac{25}{50} = 0.5 \text{ inches} \]
The scale measurement is 0.5 inches.
