Question

Kendrick made a scale drawing of an apartment. In real life, the broom closet is 5 feet long. It is 10 inches long in the drawing. What scale factor does the drawing use? (the answer has to be a fraction?)

Answer 1

5 feet = 5*12 = 60 inches
the drawing is 10 in
the closet is 60 in
so the scale factor should be 10/60
or 1/6
