Q. Ariel drew a scale drawing of a swimming pool. She used the scale 77 centimeters =1= 1 meter. What scale factor does the drawing use?\newlineSimplify your answer and write it as a fraction.\newline__\_\_
  1. Identify Scale: Step 11: Identify the scale used in the drawing.\newlineScale factor = length in the drawingcorresponding length in reality\frac{\text{length in the drawing}}{\text{corresponding length in reality}}\newlineScale factor = 7cm1m\frac{7\,\text{cm}}{1\,\text{m}}
  2. Convert to Centimeters: Step 22: Convert 11 meter to centimeters to match the units.\newline11 meter == 100100 centimeters
  3. Calculate Scale Factor: Step 33: Calculate the scale factor using the same units.\newlineScale factor = (7cm)/(100cm)(7 \, \text{cm}) / (100 \, \text{cm})\newlineScale factor = 7100\frac{7}{100}
