Answer:

Explanation:

The drawing of the garage is a smaller representation of the actual garage. A garage is drawn using a scale of 2 2/3 inch = 6feet. Let us first convert 2 2/3 inch to improper fraction. It becomes 8/3 inch.

Let us determine the unit measurement.

If 6feet = 8/3 inch,

1 foot will be 8/3 ÷ 6 = 8/3×1/6

= 8/18 inches. Therefore

if the actual height is 68 ft , then, the height of the garage on the drawing will be

68 × 8/18 = 272/9 = 30 2/9 inches
