Q. Kimi measured a restaurant and made a scale drawing. The scale she used 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 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 = 1inch1foot\frac{1\,\text{inch}}{1\,\text{foot}}
  2. Convert to Inches: Step 22: Convert 11 foot to inches to have consistent units.\newline11 foot =12= 12 inches
  3. Calculate Scale Factor: Step 33: Calculate the scale factor using the converted measurement.\newlineScale factor = (1 inch)/(12 inches)(1 \text{ inch}) / (12 \text{ inches})\newlineScale factor = 112\frac{1}{12}
