Answer:


(1)/(12).

Explanation:

Brenna drew a scale drawing of an office building.

The scale of the drawing was 1 inch = 1 foot i.e. 12 inches

Now, the scale factor is defined by the factor by which of length in the original object must be multiplied to get the corresponding length of the drawing.

So, in our case the scale factor is given by
(1)/(12). (Answer)
