Question

If the scale of a flag from the image to the actual were 1 inch = 63.75 ft, what is the scale factor? What is an equation that can relate the model and actual? (Reminder 1 foot = 12 inches)

Answer 1

• Scale Factor from the image to the actual= 765
• y=765x

Explanation:

The scale of the flag from the image to the actual were 1 inch = 63.75 ft.

Now, 1 foot = 12 inches

63.75 feet = k inches

k= 63.75 X 12 =765 inches

Therefore: 1 Inch represents 765 Inches

Scale Factor from the image to the actual= 765

If y is the length of the actual and x is the length of the image, then:

y=765x
