Question

Greg drew a scale drawing of a campground. The picnic area is 22 inches wide in the drawing. The actual picnic area is 33 yards wide. What scale did Greg use for the drawing?

Answer 1

I believe 1.5 yards

Answer 2

We need to find the ratio of the width of the actual picnic area to the width of the picnic area in the drawing. Since 1 yard is equal to 36 inches, we can convert 33 yards to inches by multiplying by 36:

33 yards x 36 inches/yard = 1188 inches

So the ratio is:

1188 inches / 22 inches = 54

This means that 1 unit in the drawing represents 54 units in real life. Therefore, the scale of the drawing is 1:54.
