Question

Hakim made a scale drawing of a neighborhood park. He used the scale 2 inches : 3 yards. Asoccer field in the park is 64 inches long in the drawing. How long is the actual field?yards

Answer 1

The actual field is 96 yards long.

Step-by-step explanation

The sclae factor is given as

2 inches in the drawing = 3 yards in reality

Let the length of the field in reality be x

2 inches in the drawing = 3 yards in reality

64 inches in the drawing = x yards in reality

We can write a mathematical relationship by cross multiplying

(2)(x) = (3)(64)

2x = 192

Divide both sides by 2

(2x/2) = (192/2)

x = 96 yards

Hope this Helps!!!
