Find the scale factor given the actual size of an object and its size on a scale drawing.

• The scale factor is calculated by adding the size on the scale drawing to the actual size.

• The scale factor is found by subtracting the size on the scale drawing from the actual size.

• The scale factor is the ratio of the size on the scale drawing to the actual size.

• The scale factor is determined by multiplying the actual size by the size on the scale drawing.
