Question

Julie made a scale drawing of a house and its lot. The scale she used was 1 inch: 6 feet. In

the drawing, the house's driveway is 3 inches wide. What is the width of the actual driveway?
feet

Answer 1

The scale is 1 inch: 6 feet.

To find the actual width of the driveway, you multiply the width on the drawing (3 inches) by the scale factor (6 feet per inch):

3 inches x 6 feet/inch = 18 feet.

So, the actual width of the driveway is 18 feet. It's done there.
