Q. Jane drew a scale drawing of a house. The scale she used was 33 millimeters =1= 1 meter. What scale factor does the drawing use?\newlineSimplify your answer and write it as a fraction.\newline__\_\_
  1. Identify scale factor: Step 11: Identify the scale used in the drawing.\newlineScale factor = length in the drawingcorresponding length in reality\frac{\text{length in the drawing}}{\text{corresponding length in reality}}\newlineScale factor = 3mm1m\frac{3\,\text{mm}}{1\,\text{m}}
  2. Convert to millimeters: Step 22: Convert 11 meter to millimeters to have consistent units.\newline11 meter == 10001000 millimeters
  3. Calculate scale factor: Step 33: Calculate the scale factor using the same units.\newlineScale factor = (3mm)/(1000mm)(3 \, \text{mm}) / (1000 \, \text{mm})\newlineScale factor = 31000\frac{3}{1000}
