Q. Shane drew a scale drawing of a house and its lot. He used the scale 33 centimeters =1= 1 meter. What scale factor does the drawing use?\newlineSimplify your answer and write it as a fraction.\newline____\_\_\_\_
  1. Identify Scale: Step 11: Identify the scale used in the drawing.\newlineShane used the scale 3cm=1m3\,\text{cm} = 1\,\text{m}. We need to find the scale factor as a fraction.\newlineScale factor = (length in the drawing) / (corresponding length in reality)\newlineScale factor = (3cm)/(1m)(3\,\text{cm}) / (1\,\text{m})
  2. Convert Units: Step 22: Convert meters to centimeters to have the same units.\newline11 meter =100= 100 centimeters.\newlineNow, recalculate the scale factor using the same units.\newlineScale factor =(3cm)/(100cm)= (3 \, \text{cm}) / (100 \, \text{cm})
  3. Simplify Fraction: Step 33: Simplify the fraction to find the scale factor.\newlineScale factor = 3100\frac{3}{100}\newlineThis is the simplified fraction representing the scale factor of the drawing.
