Answer:

Therefore the scale used is 1 inch : 6.667 inches

Explanation:

i) Scale used is 9 inches = 5 feet

ii) Scale used 9 inches = 5
12 inches = 60 inches

iii) Scale used is 1 inch
$= (60)/(9)\hspace{0.2cm} = \hspace{0.2cm}(20)/(3) \hspace{0.2cm} = 6.667\hspace{0.2cm} inches$

iv) Therefore the scale used is 1 inch : 6.667 inches
