Q. Belle drew a scale drawing of a city park. The scale of the drawing was 9millimeters=1meter9\,\text{millimeters} = 1\,\text{meter}. What is the scale factor of the drawing?\newlineSimplify your answer and write it as a fraction.\newline\_\_\_\_\_
  1. Identify Scale Fraction: Step 11: Identify the scale of the drawing as a fraction. Scale factor = length in the drawingcorresponding length in reality\frac{\text{length in the drawing}}{\text{corresponding length in reality}} Scale factor = 9mm1m\frac{9\,\text{mm}}{1\,\text{m}}
  2. Convert Meters to Millimeters: Step 22: Convert 11 meter to millimeters because the drawing's scale is in millimeters.\newline11 meter = 10001000 millimeters.
  3. Calculate Scale Factor: Step 33: Calculate the scale factor using the conversion from Step 22.\newlineScale factor = (9mm)/(1000mm)(9 \, \text{mm}) / (1000 \, \text{mm})\newlineScale factor = 91000\frac{9}{1000}
