Question

For art class you need to make a scale drawing of the Parthenon using the scale 1 in = 5 ft. The Parthenon is 228 ft long. How long should you make the building in your scale drawing?

Answer 1

45.6 inches.

Explanation:

We have been given that for art class we need to make a scale drawing of the Parthenon using the scale 1 in = 5 ft. The Parthenon is 228 ft long.

To find the the length of Parthenon in our scale drawing we will divide 228 by 5.

`\text{ Length of Parthenon in our drawing}=(228)/(5)`

`\text{ Length of Parthenon in our drawing}=45.6`

Therefore, the length of Parthenon in our drawing will be 45.6 inches.
