That means one unit of measure on the model (inches, feet, meters, etc.) equates to 24 of the same unit on the real thing.
So for example if the model is 1 foot tall, the real building is 24 feet tall.
1/24 scale in feet/inchs

A little bigger than 1:33 scale but not quite as big as 1:31 scale. lol. Sorry, I couldn't resist. When referring to model car building it is a scale of 1:32. As an example, every inch of the actual vehicle is 1/32 of an inch to the model. So every foot or 12 inches would be 3/8 of an inch.
Answer Scale, in this sense is the replication of an object, in this case, a 1/3 scale model of a car, will be 1/3 the size of the original car. building cars out of scales
how big is 1/3
how big is 1/6th scale replica

The most commonly used scales for Airfix models are 1/24 and 1/72. The 1/24 scale is mostly used for cars and motorcycles while the 1/72 scale is mostly used for aircraft, rockets and military vehicles.
It depends which scale you use:For those that use the long scale (based on powers of a million) as used in Europe (and by me, so I write it):1 billion = (10⁶)² = 10¹² → 24 billion = 24 × 10¹² = 24,000,000,000,000For those that use the short scale (based on powers of a thousand plus 1) as used in US:1 billion = (10³)²⁺1 = (10³)³ = 10⁹ → 24 billion = 24 × 10⁹ = 24,000,000,000
on a scale of 1-31 about a 22.5435
