Answer 1

7.5 feet

Explanation:

Hello there.

1. We know that the scale drawing is 0.75 inches long.

2. If 1 whole inch on the map is equivalent to 10 feet in real life, then how much feet in real life would be 0.75 inches on the map?

0.75 is equivalent or equals to 3/4 as a fraction.

Multiply 3/4 with 10 feet to get 7.5 feet.

Hope this helped!
