The scale of the drawing is 6 feet = 17 inches

Scaling is the process of increasing or reducing the size of a figure by a factor k.

Given that a figure which is 18 feet wide in real life, is 51 inches wide in the drawing, hence the scale is:

18 feet = 51 inches

Divide both sides by 3:

6 feet = 17 inches

Therefore, the scale of the drawing is 6 feet = 17 inches
