Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is the ratio between the scale drawing measures and the actual measures.

scale drawing length 8 inches
scale factor = ratio = -------------------------------- = --------------- = 2
actual length 4 inches

Also,
scale drawing width 14 inches
scale factor = ratio = ----------------------------- = --------------- = 2
actual width 7 inces


As seen the scale factor is 2.
