Jerry drew a scale drawing of a house

The original length of the entry is 10 feet long

When he drew it on paper, it was 0.5 ft

The length of the entry when drew on the paper = 0.5

=

To determine the scale factor he used

= Final length divided by the original length

Final length = 0.5 feet

Original length = 10 feet

Scale factor = 0.5 / 10

Scale factor = 0.05

The answer is 0.05
