12 square meters
Explanation: The scale drawing is 1/3 of the actual length and width of the campsite, so the area of the scale drawing can be calculated by multiplying 1/3 of the length by 1/3 of the width.
1/3 * 3 meters = 1 meter
1/3 * 4 meters = 1.33 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
1 * 1.33 = 1.33 square meters
Therefore, the area of the scale drawing is 1.33 square meters.
