Q. Franklin drew a scale drawing of a house and its lot. The scale he used was 9 millimeters =1 meter. What is the drawing's scale factor?Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction._____
Identify Scale Given: Step 1: Identify the scale given in the problem.Franklin used a scale of 9 millimeters =1 meter for his drawing.Scale factor = (length in the drawing) / (corresponding length in reality)Scale factor = (9 mm) / (1 m)
Convert to Millimeters: Step 2: Convert meters to millimeters to have consistent units.1 meter = 1000 millimeters.Now, recalculate the scale factor using the same units.Scale factor = (9mm)/(1000mm)
Simplify Fraction: Step 3: Simplify the fraction to find the scale factor.Scale factor = 10009This is the scale factor in its simplest form.
