The question asks: *If the original is 12 units and the scale factor is \( \frac{1}{4} \), what is the size of the scale drawing?*

To solve this, we multiply the original size by the scale factor:

\[
\text{Size of the scale drawing} = 12 \times \frac{1}{4} = 12 \times 0.25 = 3
\]

Thus, the size of the scale drawing is **3** units, which corresponds to option **b)**.

Here are 5 related questions:
1. How would the scale drawing change if the scale factor were \( \frac{1}{2} \)?
2. What would the original size need to be for a scaled size of 4 units at a \( \frac{1}{4} \) scale?
3. How do you calculate a scale factor when given the original and scaled size?
4. If the scale factor were \( 2 \), what would the size of the scale drawing be?
5. How does a scale factor less than 1 affect the dimensions of an object?

**Tip**: Always multiply the original measurement by the scale factor to find the size of a scaled drawing or object.
