Question

A scale drawing of a rectangular park is 5 inches wide and 7 inches long. The actual park is 280 yards long. What is the area of the actual park, in square yards? 35? 200? 1,400? 56,000?

Answer 1

56,000

Explanation:

The scale drawing is a 1/40 ratio so you multiply 5 by 40 and you get 200. You do 200x280 and you get 56,000.
