Question

The distance from home plate to left field in a model of a baseball stadium measures 16.4 in. The scale of the model to the actual stadium is 1:232. What is the distance from home plate to left field in the actual stadium to the nearest foot?

Answer 1

317

Explanation:

Since the ratio is 1:232, multiply 232 by 16.4:

`232*16.4=d`

`d=3804.8 in`

Divide by 12 to find the feet

`3804.8`÷
`12=d`

`d=317.066`

Round to the nearest foot

`d=317`
