If it lists the scale as 1/8 = 1'0" that is the scale you should be using. You should not be doubling it and using the 1/16" scale. The 1/8 scale goes up to 92 feet. The 1/16 scale only goes to 12" (1 foot). 1/16 scale is your regular ruler. -

Hello! I could probably provide better assistance if you tell me your original paper size and scale factor. 1/16th divided into one inch is 1/16th. If your paper size is not truly half of your original drawing size, then your scale factor will be distorted. For instance, a 22 x 34 drawing will be 11 x 17 at half size. This is a valid paper size. On the other hand, a 24 x 36 drawing will be 12 x 18 at half size, and this is not a valid paper size. Hope this helps. Good luck to you.

Lets say my scale is 1/8 and the drawing is half size. Therefore my scale is 1/16. When using 1/8 scale I take the measure amount and multiple it by two This is correct. However when I use a 1/16 scale the answer is incorrect and that is because it is not 1/16 scale. It is one inch divided into 1/16th. Why is that? What is going on here?
