Respuesta :

Answer:

25/36, or .694444

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's convert 6" to inches.

That gives us 72. After we convert 4'2" into inches, we get 50.

This means that the diagram goes from 72 inches wide to 50. Put this into a proportion to find the scale factor:

50/72 = 25/36 = .6944444
