3. Your friend shows you a scale drawing of her apart-

ment. The drawing of the apartment is a rectangle
4 inches by 6 inches. Your friend wants to know the
length of the shorter side of the apartment. If she
knows that the length of the longer side of the apart-
ment is 30 feet, how many feet long is the shorter side
of her apartment?

Answer:

The answer is 20 feet

Explanation:

We know that her apartment sketch is 6 by 4 inches.

If the 6 inch side is actually 30 feet and 6 goes into 30 5 times, we should multiply 4 by 5 to get proportionate answers.

Therefore her apartment is 20*30 feet

Hope this helps
