Here is a little help for our mathmaticaly challenged brethren.
Scale is a ratio 1/18, 1/32, what ever it is it doesn't matter as long as what you enter is in the same dimensions ie. inches to inches, feet to feet etc.

So if you want to find out how many inches one foot would be in 1/18 then the first thing to do is convert the one foot into inches. 1ft.=12in. then take the 12in. and multiply it by the top number in the ratio. In this case 1, so now you have 12in./18 which equals 0.66in. and as picklehaub said it is very close to 5/8"=0.625".

This works for any scale and any measuring system as long as the beginning and ending dimensions are the same.
