Question from kab: Would like to photocopy a Landscape Design. What is the Conversion Ratio or magnification required to convert 1" = 10 feet to 1/4" = 1 foot? |
Kab,
If 1/4 inch represents 1 foot then 1 inch represents 4 feet. Thus the conversion factor is 10/4 = 2.5 in one direction and 4/10 = 0.4 in the other direction.
