Q. Jennifer made a scale drawing of a house. The scale of the drawing was 11 inch =1= 1 foot. What is the scale factor of the drawing?\newlineSimplify your answer and write it as a fraction.\newline__\_\_
  1. Identify Scale: Step 11: Identify the scale given in the problem.\newlineScale given: 11 inch = 11 foot.\newlineWe need to express this scale as a fraction where the numerator is the drawing measurement and the denominator is the real measurement.\newlineScale factor = (1 inch)/(1 foot)(1 \text{ inch}) / (1 \text{ foot})
  2. Convert Units: Step 22: Convert the real measurement from feet to inches to match the units.\newline11 foot =12= 12 inches.\newlineNow, rewrite the scale factor using the same units.\newlineScale factor =(1= (1 inch)/(12) / (12 inches))
  3. Simplify Fraction: Step \(3: Simplify the fraction to find the scale factor. Scale factor = 112\frac{1}{12} This is the simplified form of the scale factor.
