Q. Camilla measured a county park and made a scale drawing. She used the scale 55 inches =1= 1 yard. What is the scale factor of the drawing?\newlineSimplify your answer and write it as a fraction.\newline__\_\_
  1. Identify scale fraction: Identify the scale of the drawing as a fraction.\newlineScale factor = length in the drawingcorresponding length in reality\frac{\text{length in the drawing}}{\text{corresponding length in reality}}\newlineScale factor = 5 inches1 yard\frac{5 \text{ inches}}{1 \text{ yard}}
  2. Convert yards to inches: Convert 11 yard to inches to have consistent units.\newline11 yard =36= 36 inches
  3. Calculate scale factor: Calculate the scale factor using the converted units.\newlineScale factor = (5 inches)/(36 inches)(5 \text{ inches}) / (36 \text{ inches})\newlineScale factor = 536\frac{5}{36}
