1 inch on the drawing represents 11 feet in the labyrinth middle school.

Explanation:

Step 1:

The labyrinth middle school is much larger than the drawing. For 33 inches on the drawing, it is 363 feet on the actual school.

So 33 inches on the drawing is equal to 363 feet in the labyrinth school.

Step 2:

To calculate the scale factor, we divide the measurement after scaling by the same measurement before scaling.

In this case, the drawing that Tabitha drew is after scaling and the labyrinth middle school is the measurement before scaling

The scale factor
= (33)/(363) = (1)/(11).

So the scale factor is
(1)/(11). This means that 1 inch on the drawing is 11 feet in the actual school.
