Question

Kenny drew a scale drawing of a city. He used the scale 1 inch : 7 yards. A neighborhood park is 133 yards long in real life. How long is the park in the drawing? inches

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find out how long the neighborhood park is in Kenny's scale drawing, you can use the given scale, which is 1 inch : 7 yards.

First, you need to set up a proportion:

1 inch / 7 yards = X inches / 133 yards

Now, cross-multiply and solve for X:

1 * 133 = 7 * X

133 = 7X

Now, divide both sides by 7 to find X:

X = 133 / 7

X = 19 inches

So, the park is 19 inches long in Kenny's scale drawing.
