Answer:
0.05
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:
The scaled height of the dog house = 6cm
Original height = 51inches
let us convert the original height to cm;
1in = 2.54cm
51in = 51 x 2.54 = 129.54cm
Scale factor;
[tex]\frac{scaled height}{original height}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{129.54}[/tex]
= 0.05
The scale factor is 0.05, the drawing has been reduced by a multiple of 0.05 of the actual height
