Question

In a scale drawing,a 48-ft wall is represented by a line 5 in long.using the same scale,what is the height of a building that is represented by a line 3.5 in long ?

Answer 1

Since a 48 ft wall is represented by a line 5 inches long, divide 48 by 5 to find out how many ft. one inch represents. Then multiply your answer by 3.5.

(48/5)*3.5
= 9.6*3.5
= 33.6

Your answer should be 33.6 feet. Hope this helps!
