Patty measured the elementary school and made a scale drawing. The scale she used was 7 centimeters = 1 meter
What is the drawing's scale factor?

Simplify your answer and write it as a ratio, using a colon.​

Sagot :

Write the scale of the drawing as a fraction. Put the shorter length in the numerator.

[tex] \frac{7 \: cm}{1 \: cm} \\ [/tex]

First convert the denominator to the same units as the numerator. Write an equivalent fraction with centimeters in the denominator. Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, multiply the denominator by 100 to get centimeters in the denominator.

[tex] \frac{7 \: cm}{100 \: cm} = \: \frac{7}{100} \\ [/tex]

Write the scale factor as a ratio, using a colon

7/100   →  7:100

The scale factor is 7:100.
