Q. Franklin drew a scale drawing of a house and its lot. The scale he used was 99 millimeters =1= 1 meter. What is the drawing's scale factor?\newlineSimplify your answer and write it as a fraction.\newline_____\_\_\_\_\_
  1. Identify Scale Given: Step 11: Identify the scale given in the problem.\newlineFranklin used a scale of 99 millimeters == 11 meter for his drawing.\newlineScale factor == (length in the drawing) / (corresponding length in reality)\newlineScale factor == (99 mm) / (11 m)
  2. Convert to Millimeters: Step 22: Convert meters to millimeters to have consistent units.\newline11 meter = 10001000 millimeters.\newlineNow, recalculate the scale factor using the same units.\newlineScale factor = (9mm)/(1000mm)(9\, \text{mm}) / (1000\, \text{mm})
  3. Simplify Fraction: Step 33: Simplify the fraction to find the scale factor.\newlineScale factor = 91000\frac{9}{1000}\newlineThis is the scale factor in its simplest form.
