Question

The blueprint for a fence shows a rectangle with the dimensions bin x

18in. The scale for the actual fence is 2in : 10ft. What is the length and
width of the actual fence?

Answer 1

The width of the actual fence is 90ft

Explanation:

If 2in = 10ft, you want to find the scale factor. To do this, you need to divide 10/2, so for every 5ft, it is 1in. Now, you would take how many inches you have and multiply it by 5. (in our case, 18in)

18 x 5 = 90.

So the actual fence length is 90ft.
