Q. Liam drew a scale drawing of a county park. The scale of the drawing was 77 inches =1= 1 yard. What is the scale factor of the drawing?\newlineSimplify your answer and write it as a fraction.\newline__\_\_
  1. Identify Scale Fraction: Step 11: Identify the scale of the drawing as a fraction. \newlineScale factor = length in the drawingcorresponding length in reality\frac{\text{length in the drawing}}{\text{corresponding length in reality}} \newlineScale factor = 7 inches1 yard\frac{7 \text{ inches}}{1 \text{ yard}}
  2. Convert to Inches: Step 22: Convert 11 yard to inches to have consistent units.\newline11 yard =36= 36 inches\newlineScale factor =7 inches36 inches= \frac{7 \text{ inches}}{36 \text{ inches}}
  3. Simplify Fraction: Step 33: Simplify the fraction to find the scale factor. Scale factor = 736\frac{7}{36}
