Answer 1

Answer: 150 feet : 100 feet

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the scale used by Eric was 1inch=5feet.

If the gym is 30 inches by 20 inches in the drawing, the actual length and width of the gym would be:

Length = 30 inches = 30 × 5 feet = 150 feet

Width = 20 inches = 20 × 5 feet = 100 feet

Answer 2

Answer: 150 feet : 100 feet

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the scale used by Eric was 1inch=5feet.

If the gym is 30 inches by 20 inches in the drawing, the acual length and width of the gym would be:

Length = 30 inches = 30 × 5 feet = 150 feet

Width = 20 inches = 20 × 5 feet = 100 feet

Therefore, the acual length and width of the gym would be 150 feet by 100 feet
