Question

Cindy made a scale drawing of a game room. The pool table, which is 8 feet long in real life, is 4 inches long in the drawing. What is the scale of the drawing?

Answer 1

Answer: The scale of the drawing is 1/3.

Explanation:

To find the scale of the drawing, we can set up a proportion:

(size of object in drawing) / (size of real-life object) = scale

So in this case:

4 inches / 8 feet = scale

To find the scale we need to make the units in both sides of the equation the same, so we can convert 8 feet to inches by multiplying it with 12:

8 feet * 12 inches/foot = 96 inches

Now we can substitute this back into the equation:

4 inches / 96 inches = scale

To solve for the scale we divide both sides by 4

4 inches / 96 inches = 1/24

So the scale of the drawing is 1/3, which means that for every 3 inches in the real-life object, it is represented by 1 inches in the drawing.

Answer 2

1 inch/2 feet

1 inch divided by 2 feet
