Question

A car has a length of 193.2 inches. A scale drawing is made using a ratio of 20:1 . What is the length of the scale drawing?

Answer 1

The ratio of 20:1 means for every 20 inches the car is in real life, the drawing will be 1 inch.

To find the length of the drawing, divide the length of the real car by 20.

193.2 / 20 = 9.66 inches.
