1. Jake reads the following problem: If the original scale factor for a scale drawing of a square swimming pool is 1/90, and the length of the original drawing is measured to be 8 inches, what is the length on the new scale drawing if the scale factor of the new scale drawing length to actual length is 1/144? He works out the problem: 8 inches ÷ 1/90 = 720 inches 720 inches× 1/144 = 5 inches Is he correct? Explain why or why not.
