Brandy made a scale drawing of a house. the hall closet is 8 inches long in the drawing. the actual closet is 4 feet long. what scale factor does the drawing use?

i never seem to get this right explain how to do.

Real is scaling down to the drawing, right? ...because she’d begin by measuring the real thing.
So that’s 4 ft to 8 inches, but that doesn’t make sense. They both have to be in the same measurement... either feet or inches. So 1 ft.= 12 in. So to change feet into inches, multiply 4x12= 48inches (In 4 feet) so 48 to 8 or48/8 which reduces to 8/1 a factor is Something multiplied together which means that as we started we have to scale it down that means that whatever we multiply by hast to make the answer smaller. That means that instead of scaling by 8 we’re going to scale by 1/8
