David built a model of a regulation basketball court. His model measured approximately 3.75 feet long by 2 feet wide. The dimensions of a regulation court are 94 feet long by 50 feet wide. What is the scale factor David used to build his model?

3.75:94 ----> 3.75/94 ----->(flip) 94/3.75 ---->simplify -----> 25

2:50 ---> 2/50 -----> (flip) 50/2 ------> simplify ------> 25

Scale factor is 25
