Rita drew a scale drawing of a picnic area near the river.

The picnic area, which is 135 yards long in real life, is 15 inches long in the drawing.
What scale did Rita use for the drawing?

To find the scale, we need to divide the length of the picnic area in real life by the length of the drawing.

Scale = 135 yards / 15 inches = 9 yards per inch

Therefore, Rita used a scale of 1 inch representing 9 yards.
