Your mom is repainting your younger brother's room. She is going to project an image on the wall, where 1 inch of the image represents 2 feet on the wall. The length of the image of the train measures 2 inches. Determine how long the mural will be.

A) 1 foot
B) 2 feet
C) 3 feet
D) 4 feet

Answer 1

The length of the mural will be 4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the length of the mural, we need to use the scale ratio provided. According to the scale, 1 inch on the wall represents 2 feet. The length of the image of the train is given as 2 inches. So, to find the length of the mural, we can multiply the length of the image by the scale ratio:

Length of mural = Length of image x Scale ratio
Length of mural = 2 inches x 2 feet/inch
Length of mural = 4 feet

Therefore, the length of the mural will be 4 feet.
