Answer 1

Explanation:

The question is incomplete.

A drawing of a basement uses the same scale as the example above which is 1 inch to 10 ft. The basement is 28ft wide and 35 ft long. how wide and long is the drawing? show your work

Converting 28ft and 35ft into inches

For 28ft:

If 1inch = 10ft

x inch = 28ft

cross multiply

10x = 28

x = 28/10

x = 2.8inches

For 35ft;

If 1inch = 10ft

x inch = 35ft

cross multiply

10x = 35

x = 35/10

x = 3.5inches

Hence the basement is 2.8 in long and 3.5 in wide
