Respuesta :

I think the length of pool in inches is actually 12*12=144 because there are 12 inches in a foot.
Also, the scale factor would be 144/16 = 9.
1 foot = 12 inches
 so length of pool = 12 inches x 12 feet = 144 inches

144 /16 = 9
 so the scale factor would be 1:9
 which means the blueprint is 9 times smaller than the real pool
