Question

Damon drew a scale drawing of a swimming pool. The scale he used was 1 inch : 9 feet. The diving board is 2 inches long in the drawing. How long is the actual diving board?

Answer 1

Since the scale utilized in the draw is 1 inch : 9 feet and the diving board is 2 inches, we need to multiply the 2 inches by the scale:

`2\cdot9ft=18ft`

The actual diving board is 18ft long
