What does each tick mark represent on a 1/8 scale?

• A. Two inches
• B. One inch
• C. Four inches
• D. Eight inches

Answer: (A)

In scale drawings, the marks on the scale represent real-world lengths according to the scale ratio. For a 1/8 scale, the small tick marks are used to indicate two inches in real life. So when you read to a tick mark, you’re reading a distance of two inches. (Reading to one tick would be two inches, two ticks would be four inches, etc.) The other options don’t fit this particular 1/8-scale convention.
