    Hi, can someone please tell me how to work out a scale for DCG. I have a question on perspective for homework and the scale is 1:200, now to me I would assume that for every 1mm on my work sheet is 200mm in real life so I divide all measurements on the question sheet by 200 (after converting them into mm) but my teacher says just divide all of them by 5. How did he come to that conclusion?

    Thanks
    Adam
