Ho Model Railroading
Help on a question of math rock like a fool?
I need help with the expansion, especially since I did not pay enough attention in math class. Here's the deal: I'm working on, or 1:87 scale (HO model railroad), where 1 inch equals approximately 7.25 meters scale. If I have something that actually measures .083 ", how many inches of scale is that 3/32nds How about an inch? Also, what is the formula to get the answers? I am a product of mid-twentieth century, in order to use the good "old" algebraic notation, please. For me, "x" means to multiply, not "*". Thanks in advance.
When I use the HO model this is what I did. An inch is the same as that which is 7.25 32/32nds sc.ft. If something is 3/32nds then do the following: 3 ÷ 32 = 0.09375 or 9.375%, so that percentage and time of 7.25. Sc.ft 0.09375 7.25 ≈ 0.68 times one foot. That is 68% of a foot that is 12 inches times 0.68 = 8.16 inches in HO scale. To 0.083 inches, which is actually 8.3% of an inch. One inch = 7.25 sc. On foot Therefore, 7.25 times 0,083 ≈ 0,602 a foot. That is 60% of a foot that is 12 inches times 0.60 = 7.2 inches in HO scale.
