Q. Erik made a scale drawing of a community college. He used the scale 7millimeters=1meter7\,\text{millimeters} = 1\,\text{meter}. What scale factor does the drawing use?\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\text{Scale factor} = \frac{\text{length in the drawing}}{\text{corresponding length in reality}}Scale factor=7mm1m\text{Scale factor} = \frac{7\,\text{mm}}{1\,\text{m}}
  2. Convert to Millimeters: Step 22: Convert 11 meter to corresponding millimeters.\newlineTo convert meters to millimeters, multiply the length value by 10001000.\newline11 meter = 10001000 millimeters
  3. Calculate Scale Factor: Step 33: Calculate the scale factor using the converted length.\newlineScale factor = (7mm)/(1000mm)(7 \, \text{mm}) / (1000 \, \text{mm})\newlineScale factor = 71000\frac{7}{1000}
