    Dollhouse for a dollhouse scale for 1:12 dollhouses. Commonly used for mini armor. Used for 12 mm, and 12.5 mm figure scale miniature wargaming. 1:128: 3 ⁄ 32 in: 2.381 mm A few rockets and some fit-in-the-box aircraft are made to this size. 1:120: 0.1 in: 2.54 mm: Model railways (TT) Derived from the scale of 1 inch equals 10 feet.TT model

  3. Fixed-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic

    A fixed-point representation of a fractional number is essentially an integer that is to be implicitly multiplied by a fixed scaling factor. For example, the value 1.23 can be stored in a variable as the integer value 1230 with implicit scaling factor of 1/1000 (meaning that the last 3 decimal digits are implicitly assumed to be a decimal fraction), and the value 1 230 000 can be represented ...

    A simple and efficient way to state acuity is by converting the fraction to ... 10 20/12.5 10/6 6/3.8 3/2 1.60 ... from a maximum distance of 5 feet directly ...

  5. Scale ruler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_ruler

    Scale ruler. A scale ruler is a tool for measuring lengths and transferring measurements at a fixed ratio of length; two common examples are an architect's scale and engineer's scale. In scientific and engineering terminology, a device to measure linear distance and create proportional linear measurements is called a scale.

  6. Scale length (string instruments) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_length_(string...

    For example, a 7/8 violin has a scale of about 317 mm, a 3/4-size instrument a scale of 307 mm, a half-size one 287 mm, and a quarter-size one 267 mm. 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32 and even 1/64 violins also exist, becoming progressively smaller, but again in no proportional relationship. (A full-size instrument is described as 4/4.)

    A common unit in both measures throughout historic Greece was the cotyle or cotyla whose absolute value varied from one place to another between 210 ml and 330 ml. [1] The basic unit for both solid and liquid measures was the κύαθος (kyathos, plural: kyathoi). [4] The Attic liquid measures were:

  8. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    Such a scaling changes the diameter of an object by a factor between the scale factors, the area by a factor between the smallest and the largest product of two scale factors, and the volume by the product of all three. The scaling is uniform if and only if the scaling factors are equal (v x = v y = v z). If all except one of the scale factors ...

  9. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    The reciprocal of a proper fraction is improper, and the reciprocal of an improper fraction not equal to 1 (that is, numerator and denominator are not equal) is a proper fraction. When the numerator and denominator of a fraction are equal (for example, ⁠ 7 / 7 ⁠), its value is 1, and the fraction therefore is improper. Its reciprocal is ...
