Q. Daniel drew a scale drawing of the middle school. The scale he used was 11 inch =1= 1 foot. 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.\newlineDaniel used the scale 11 inch = 11 foot. We need to express this scale as a fraction to find the scale factor.\newlineScale factor = (length in the drawing) / (corresponding length in reality)\newlineScale factor = (11 inch) / (11 foot)
  2. Convert Units: Step 22: Convert feet to inches to have consistent units.\newline11 foot =12= 12 inches, so we replace 11 foot with 1212 inches in the scale factor calculation.\newlineScale factor =(1= (1 inch)/(12) / (12 inches))
  3. Simplify Fraction: Step \(3: Simplify the fraction to find the scale factor.\newlineScale factor = 112\frac{1}{12}\newlineThis is the simplified fraction representing the scale factor of the drawing.
