Q. Nancy made a scale drawing of an apartment. The scale she used was 11 inch == 11 foot. What is the drawing's scale factor?\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 feet to inches to have consistent units. \newline11 foot =12= 12 inches
  3. Calculate Scale Factor: Step 33: Calculate the scale factor using the converted unit.\newlineScale factor = (1inch)/(12inches)(1 \, \text{inch}) / (12 \, \text{inches})\newlineScale factor = 1/121 / 12
