Answer:

The height should be 0.5 inch on the scale drawing

Explanation:

The scale factor of the drawing to the actual flag is represented by the ratio 1:18. Which means that 18 inches on the actual flag are equivalent to 1 inch on the scale drawing. If a height of 9 inches is drawn on the actual flag, then:

18 inches on the actual flag / 9 inches on the actual flag = 1 inch on the scale drawing / x inch on the scale drawing

18*x = 9*1

x = 9/18

x = 0.5 inch on the scale drawing
