My brain wont work today.
What scale is 5/16 to 1foot, is it 1 to 33.
Thanks

About 1 to 38 I would have thought...... 

[dougal99]

Yup 1:38.4 to be exact

[Artistmike]

Yup 1:38.4 to be exact

I was rounding down...  .....

Any chance of showing how to work out scale please?

I would have got it wrong because I thought you only had to calculate how many 5/16" in 1ft, which would have been 36.75 (if I've got this right), and so assumed the scale would have been 1:36.75

You're right but you did the arithmetic wrong....    12 X 16 = 192 ....... 192 divided by 5  equals 38.4 .. or if you're rounding down 38.

Thanks guys.
I nearly got it right.

Thanks a lot for explaining the workings, although to be honest it's still got to sink-in a bit - I'll play with a few numbers so it registers.
