Question

Jamie drew a scale drawing of a county park. The scale he used was 1 inch : 3 yards. The picnic area is 120 yards long in real life. How long is the picnic area in the drawing?

Answer 1

40 inches

Explanation:

The scale ratio of the drawing is 1 inch : 3 yards

If the picnic area is 120 yards long, and every 3 yards is an inch in the drawing, you divide 120 by 3

120 / 3 = 40

The length of the picnic area in the drawing will be 40 inches long
