1 foot = 12 inches
42 feet = (42 x 12) = 504

The factor of (6 inches / 42 feet) is (6 inches / 504 inches) = 1 / 84 .

The scale factor is not in inches.  It's a factor, and has no units.
A 1-ft model would represent a real 84 feet.
A 1-meter model would represent a real 84 meters.
A 1-yard model would represent a real 84 yards.

liraira [26]

Answer:

Lo's answer is correct and it is a translation because applying the rule (x+4, y+8) on the coordinates N(-2, -4) will gives us N'(2,4).

Step-by-step explanation:

i) though Raheem is mathematically correct the question asks for a translation which means that we can only use addition and/or subtraction and not multiplication. So Raheem's answer is therefore incorrect.

ii) Casey's answer is incorrect as applying the rule (x+2, y+4) on the coordinates N(-2, -4) will gives us (0,0) and not N'(2,4)

iii) Andrew's answer is also incorrect as applying the rule (x+4, y+0) on the coordinates N(-2, -4) will gives us (2,-4) and not N'(2,4).

iv) Lo's answer is correct and it is a translation because applying the rule (x+4, y+8) on the coordinates N(-2, -4) will gives us N'(2,4).
