A scale is like a ruler which helps architects and builders read plans and convert the measurements on paper to the measurements of the real building.
Because we can't make architectural drawings as large as real life, we scale them down. Some commonly used scales are 1:100, 1:250, 1:50 etc. The scale is determined by how big the building is and how much detail the plans need to show so that you can see what's going on.
With a 1:100 scale drawing, every unit on the page is equal to 100 units in real life. So the 1:100 part of the scale ruler shows "1m" where on a regular ruler it would say "1cm".
