Q. Wesley made a scale drawing of a neighborhood park. He used the scale 55 inches =1= 1 yard. What scale factor does the drawing use?\newlineSimplify your answer and write it as a fraction.\newline____\_\_\_\_
  1. Identify scale: 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 = 5 inches1 yard\frac{5 \text{ inches}}{1 \text{ yard}}
  2. Convert to inches: Convert 11 yard to inches to have consistent units.\newline11 yard =36= 36 inches
  3. Calculate scale factor: Calculate the scale factor using the converted measurement.\newlineScale factor = (5 inches)/(36 inches)(5 \text{ inches}) / (36 \text{ inches})\newlineScale factor = 536\frac{5}{36}
