Question

Teagan is making a scale drawing of his skateboard. He is using a scale of 14 inch = 1 inch. The length of Teagan's skateboard is 29 inches and its width is 7.5 inches. Which proportion shows how long the length of the board should be drawn?

Answer 1

The length of the skateboard in the draw is
`2.07\ inches`

Explanation:

we know that

The scale drawing is equal to

`(1)/(14)(in)/(in)`

That means

1 inch in the draw is equal to 14 inches in the actual

so

To find the dimensions of the draw multiply the scale drawing by the actual dimensions

Find the length of the skateboard in the draw

`(1)/(14)*29=2.07\ inches`

Find the width of the skateboard in the draw

`(1)/(14)*7.5=0.54\ inches`
