Hey
Posted this in Student because it's for my college work, but feel free to move it mods if you don't think it suits.
Basically (I feel a bit silly asking this, but neither me or my mate can work it out) I have a architect diagram of the internal layout of a building, and I'm trying to reporduce it on a piece of A4 paper for my work. Thing is, it has to be to scale with the building/original drawing.
The scale of the drawing just says 1:50. What is this likely to be? me and my mate guessed at either 1inch = 50m, or 1cm = 50m, but either way this makes the building ridiculously big, so we're thinking we're wrong!
Anyone got a more educated guess than us?

looks like that, has all the scales on (well common ones) you put it against what you want to scale and it works out the measurement for you!
i'd be lost without it.
