Final answer:

Joy used a scale of 37 inches = 111 yards to draw the soccer field in the park.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joy used a scale of 37 inches = 111 yards to draw the soccer field in the park. To find the length of the soccer field in real life, we can set up a proportion:

Scale length / Real length = Scale measurement / Real measurement

37 inches / 111 yards = X / 1 yard

Cross-multiplying, we find that X = 37 inches * 1 yard / 111 yards = 0.3333 yards = 11.9999 feet.

Therefore, Joy used a scale of 37 inches to represent 11.9999 feet when drawing the soccer field.
