Answer:

1 inch = 3 feet

Explanation:

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

6 /2 = 3

1 in = 3 feet
