Answer:

Explanation:

The house blueprint shows the bedroom is 4 in wide and its actual length is 12 yards wide. This means that every 1 inch on the blue print represents 3 yards on the actual building. The scale is the ratio of the length of a side on the blueprint to the length of a corresponding side on the actual. Therefore, the scale for the blueprint is 3: 1

Therefore, the scale factor is 3
