Please Help

Takayla looked at a scale drawing of a piece of land she was interested in buying. The drawing used a scale of 1 in ft. = 200 ft. She was told that the actual length of the land was 588 ft. How long should the land be on the map?


A. 3.33 in

B. 2.98 in

C. 2.90 in

D. 2.94 in

Answer 1

The answer is D: 2.94 in

Step-by-step explanation:
Since 1 inch is equivalent to 200. We can divide 588 by 200 since there is already a 1. When you divide it, the answer is 2.94 inches.

Or you can use the equation:
200x=588
Which is pretty much the same thing as
588 ÷ 200
