Hen Scale: 1in.=7ft. The actual width of the backyard is 49 ft, how wide is it in the drawing? 42 in 7 in 14 in 56 in

​

Answer 1

7 inches

Explanation:

(divide 49 by 7) 7 feet go into 49 feet 7 times. If there are 7 groups of 7 feet, and every 7 feet is one inch, then 7 inches is the width of the drawing.

Answer 2

7inches

Explanation:

Given the conversion rate expressed as:

1 in = 7ft

We are to find the equivalent with of 49ft in inches.

x in = 49ft

Divide both equations:

1/x = 7/49

Cross multiply;

7*x = 1*49

7x = 49

x = 49/7

x = 7

Hence the correct answer is 7inches
