Answer:

The scale of the drawing is 52. As in the real length was divided by 52.

Explanation:

If the actual length is 260 in and the drawing is 5 in then you would obviously divide those two. As an example, it makes sense that in drawing, architects wouldn't put a big number, it would take up to much space.

260 divided by 5 = 52
Scale factor = 52
