Answer:
[tex]\text{The scale is }\frac{1}{432}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Length between the bases on a major league diamond = 90 feet
1 feet = 12 inches
90 feet = 90 × 12
= 1080 inches
Length between the bases on a major league baseball diamond on scale drawing = 2.5 inches
[tex]\text{Scale factor = }\frac{\text{Actual length}}{\text{Scale length}}\\\\\text{Scale factor = }\frac{1080}{2.5}=432[/tex]
[tex]\text{Hence, the scale is }\frac{1}{432}[/tex]
