Question

Duncan drew a scale drawing of a shopping center. The scale of the drawing was 1 inch : 9 feet. If the actual width of a bakery in the shopping center is 36 feet, how wide is the bakery in the drawing?

Answer 1

Answer:

First, write the scale factor. Next, write ratios to represent the unknown actual length and width of the display to the scale length and width of the display. Then, write two proportions by setting the two length ratios equal to one another and the two width ratios equal to one another. The given unit is feet.
