What is the difference between 2:1 and 1:2?
I know 1:1 means it has the same scale as it actually is in real life.
So 1:2 means that it's half the size right? therefore 2:1 would mean that you doubled the size, so in real life it would be twice as big?
also, can you write 1.5 : 1? or how would you write that, to express that you made it bigger by 1/2
