Question 940235: Shelby made a scale drawing of a house and its lot. The front patio, which is 9 meters wide (L1) in real life, is 6 millimeters wide (L2)in the drawing. What scale factor (SF) does the drawing use?

Convert Variables to the same dimensions:
L1=9 m * 1000 mm/m=9000 mm
SF=L1/L2
SF=9000 cm/6 mm
SF=1500
So the scale factor is 1500:1
