    Sam is at the county fair looking at model train displays. The smallest one is an "N" gauge, which is a scale of 1:160. If the display area is 4 feet by 8 feet, how big an area does the display represent?
    ::Sam正在县集看火车模型显示。最小的是“ N” 仪表, 比例尺为1: 160。 如果显示区域是4英尺乘8英尺, 显示区域代表多大面积 ?

    In this concept, you will learn how to use a scale factor to find actual dimensions.
    ::在这个概念中,你将学会如何使用一个比例因素来找到实际的维度。

    Using Scale Factor to Find Actual Dimensions
    ::使用缩放因数查找实际尺寸

    A   ratio   compares two quantities. 
    ::A比率比较了两个数量。

    Ratios can be written as fractions, with a colon or with the word “to.”
    ::比率可以作为分数写成,用冒号或“to”一词写成。

      2 3 , 2:3, and "2 to 3" are ratios.
    ::2,3,2,3,2,3 和"2,3"是比例。

    A   proportion   is created when two ratios are found to be  equivalent  or equal.
    ::当发现两个比率对等或相等时,就形成一个比例。

    1 2 = 3 6  is a proportion.
    ::1 2 = 3 6 是一个比例。

    A   unit rate   is a comparison of two measurements, one of which has a value of 1.
    ::A单位费率是两项测量的比较,其中一项测量值为1。

    55 miles per  hour ,   55   m i l e s 1   h o u r is a unit rate. 
    ::每小时55英里55米,55米 i l e s 1 h o u r 是单位费率。

    A   unit scale   is a ratio that compares the dimensions of an actual object to the dimensions of a scale drawing or model that represents the actual object. Neither value in a  unit scale  has to equal 1. 
    ::单位比例表是指将实际物体的尺寸与代表实际物体的尺度图示或模型的尺寸进行比较的比率。单位比例表中的数值不一定等于1。

    The unit scale on a map may read  1 2   i n c h = 100   f e e t .
    ::地图上的单位比例尺可读取 1 2 i n c h = 100 f e e e t 。

    The ratio would be written   0.5 100   . 
    ::比率为0.5 100。

    To represent a line 500 feet long, the unit scale would be used to draw a line  2 1 2   inches  long.
    ::代表500英尺长的线,单位比例尺将用来绘制212英寸长的线。

    A line 4 inches long would represent an actual line of 800 feet.
    ::一条4英寸长的线等于800英尺的实际线。

    Unit scales and proportions can be used to calculate actual distances from maps, drawings, or models.
    ::单位比例和比例可用来计算与地图、图纸或模型的实际距离。

    Actual distances can be represented on maps, drawings, or models by using unit scales.
    ::地图、图纸或模型可使用单位比例表代表实际距离。

    scale factor  is somewhat like a unit scale. It is a ratio that compares scale dimensions to actual dimension. It differs because it does not give any specific units.
    ::比例系数有点像单位比例尺。它是将规模尺寸与实际尺寸进行比较的一个比率。它不同,因为它不给任何特定单位。

    A scale factor for a scale drawing might be  1 200 , which means that the actual size is 200 times the drawing.
    ::比额表的比额系数可能为1 200,这意味着实际规模是绘图的200倍。

    Scale factors can be used to determine both scale and actual sizes or dimensions.
    ::比额表因素可用于确定比额表和实际大小或大小。
