1:12 is full scale shrunk to 1 inch. This means if you have a 6-foot person they would be a 6-inch doll or if you have a 3-foot table you would have a 3-inch table.
2 inches = 1/5 of the inch (Divide 1 inch into 5 parts)
1 inch = 1/12 of the inch (Divide 1 inch into 12 parts)

1:12th verses 1:24th scale
I don’t work with 1:24th but the1:24 scale is very close to the scale (1:22.5) used for European G scale narrow-gauge model trains, so 1:24 models are often used on model train layouts. Dollhouses and furniture are also found in 1:24 scale. An average adult male human figure stands just under 3 inches (76 mm) tall so to give you a better idea you would have to divide the 1:12 measurements of a 6-foot doll that equals a 6 inch in scale to 1-foot ruler which would be 2. think 2 doll people per ruler. Whereas a 3-inch doll would divide into a ruler by 4 giving you 4 doll people per ruler. You don’t multiply the measurements because that would make it to big. 1:24 is smaller than 1:12 by half so you would divide the templates by 2. 3-inch template would be 1 1/2 inch for the 1:24th scale and so on.
