Answer: 17.92 feet

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the estimation on a scale drawing of a fence is that 3.75 inches = 24 feet.

Based on the above, 1 inch will be:

= 24/3.75

= 6.4 feet

Therefore, the actual length of a second fence that is 2.8 inches in the drawing will be:

= 6.4 × 2.8

= 17.92 feet
