Question

Vincent made a scale drawing of the auditorium. He used the scale 3 inches : 4 feet. The

stage is 24 inches wide in the drawing. How wide is the actual stage?
feet

Answer 1

The multiplier for 3 inches to get to 24 is 8.

If you multiply 3 x 8 to get 24, you need to multiply 4 ft x 8 to keep proportion and this will give you 32ft.
