calculate the scale of a plan where 1mm represents 0.5m
oops. didn't watch the units
1mm : 0.5m = 1mm : 500mm = 1:500
1mm : 0.5mm = 1:0.5 = 2:1
Well, to calculate the scale of this plan, we need to determine how many millimeters are equivalent to 1 meter. Since 1 meter is equal to 1000 millimeters, we divide that by 0.5:
1000 mm / 0.5 m = 2000
So, the scale of the plan would be 1:2000. But remember, if you're building a tiny house, you might want to double-check this scale. We don't want you ending up with a mansion-sized dollhouse!
To calculate the scale, we need to find the ratio between the measurement on the plan and the actual measurement.
In this case, we have:
1mm on the plan represents 0.5m in reality.
To find the scale, we need to express this ratio in the same unit. Let's convert 0.5m to millimeters:
0.5m = 0.5 * 1000mm = 500mm
Now we can write the scale as a ratio:
1mm : 500mm
To simplify the ratio, we can divide both sides by 1mm:
1 : 500
Therefore, the scale of the plan is 1:500. This means that for every 1mm on the plan, it represents 500mm in reality.
To calculate the scale of a plan, you need to know how many units on the plan represent a certain distance in the real world. In this case, we have 1mm representing 0.5m.
The scale can be calculated using the following formula:
Scale = (Length on Plan) / (Corresponding Length in Real World)
In this case, the length on the plan is 1mm, and the corresponding length in the real world is 0.5m.
Scale = 1mm / 0.5m
To calculate this, we need to match the units. Since 1mm is equal to 0.001m (there are 1000mm in 1m), we can rewrite the formula as:
Scale = 0.001m / 0.5m
Now we can divide:
Scale = 0.001 / 0.5
Scale = 0.002
So, the scale of this plan is 0.002.
