Identify Scale Given: Step 1: Identify the scale given in the problem.Scale given: 3 millimeters = 1 meter.We need to find the scale factor as a fraction.Scale factor = (length in the drawing) / (corresponding length in reality)Scale factor = (3mm)/(1m)
Convert to Same Units: Step 2: Convert meters to millimeters to have the same units.1 meter =1000 millimeters.Now, recalculate the scale factor using the same units.Scale factor =(3mm)/(1000mm)
