Question

a scale drawing of a school bus is 1 inch to 5 feet. if the length of the school bus is 5 inches on the scale drawing. what is the actual length of the bus?

Answer 1

25 feet

Explanation:

we can set up the proportional relationship of the drawing vs the actual size

so 1 inch to 5 feet would be 1:5

so then if we scale up 1 inch to 5 inch

then we have 1:5=5:Actual length of the bus

so then we have 5*5=25 feet
