Q. Erik made a scale drawing of a community college. He used the scale 7millimeters=1meter. What scale factor does the drawing use?Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction._____
Identify Scale Fraction: Step 1: Identify the scale of the drawing as a fraction.Scale factor=corresponding length in realitylength in the drawingScale factor=1m7mm
Convert to Millimeters: Step 2: Convert 1 meter to corresponding millimeters.To convert meters to millimeters, multiply the length value by 1000.1 meter = 1000 millimeters
Calculate Scale Factor: Step 3: Calculate the scale factor using the converted length.Scale factor = (7mm)/(1000mm)Scale factor = 10007
