For example, one inch measured from a drawing with a scale of "one-inch-to-the-foot" is equivalent to one foot in the real world (a scale of 1:12)....one inch measured from a drawing with a scale of "two-inches-to-the-foot" is equivalent to six inches in the real world (a scale of 1:6). It is not to be confused with a true unitless ratio.
Two wooden yardsticks with brass ends, in inches and division of yard for half, quarter, eighth and sixteenth A folding metre-stick carpenter's ruler with millimetre divisions and numbers in centimetres. Fully extended it measures 2 metres. In countries in which the metric system is used, the scale typically contains only a metric scale.
The scale can be expressed in four ways: in words (a lexical scale), as a ratio, as a fraction and as a graphical (bar) scale. Thus on an architect's drawing one might read 'one centimeter to one meter', 1:100, 1/100, or 1 / 100 . A bar scale would also normally appear on the drawing.
English: a ruler from 0 to 1 inch (in.) in 1/32 inch divisions below the line and 1/2 millimetre (mm) divisions above the line to give a visual representation of the approximations. Principally designed to help visually determine if a metric or imperial drill bit will suffice.
A ruler, marked in centimeters (top), and inches (bottom). The rising and falling pattern of vertical lines on the inch scale resembles the ruler function. In number theory , the ruler function of an integer n {\displaystyle n} can be either of two closely related functions.
A ruler with two linear scales: the metric and imperial.It includes shorter minor graduations and longer major graduations. A graduation is a marking used to indicate points on a visual scale, which can be present on a container, a measuring device, or the axes of a line plot, usually one of many along a line or curve, each in the form of short line segments perpendicular to the line or curve.

Models are built to scale, defined as the ratio of any linear dimension of the model to the equivalent dimension on the full-size subject (called the "prototype"), expressed either as a ratio with a colon (ex. 1:8 scale), or as a fraction with a slash (1/8 scale). This designates that 1 inch (or centimeter) on the model represents 8 such units ...
