Scales
« on: October 11, 2012, 09:33:32 am »
Hi All
I am trying to workout the scale of a new boat.  The Model is 55 inches long. The ship that it  is modelled on is 56 meters long so how do you work out the scale of the model. Any help will be most welcome
Many Thanks. {:-{

1:40th or there abouts

56meters = 2204.72"

divide 2204.72 by 55 = 40.085

I think thats right
