Question #c1530

Answer 1

`3 color(white)(.) i n c h e s : 2 color(white)(.) f e e t`

Explanation:

A scale factor is just two numbers. If I make a factor on a drawing for `1 color(white)(.) i n c h : 2 color(white)(.) f e e t`, I have a ratio that says for every inch in the sketch, the project should be `2` feet in real life

In our case, we are told `9 i n c h e s : 6 f e e t`. We can simplify this by dividing both values by `3`:

`3 color(white)(.) i n c h e s : 2 color(white)(.) f e e t`

Now it's as simplified as possible
