    1 cm:7 meters

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The scale drawing shows the length in the drawing, then a colon and the actual lenght of the object. The actual building is 147 meters long and the drawing is 21 centimeters long. From this, we have:

    21 cm:147 meters

    As both numbers can be divided by 21, you can simplify and you would have that the scale of the drawing is:

    1 cm:7 meters
