Question

Eduardo drew a scale drawing of the school cafeteria. He used a scale of 1 inch: 6 feet. In the drawing, the width of the cafeteria is 9 inches long. What is the actual width of the cafeteria?

Answer 1

54 feet

Explanation:

the answer is 54 feet because the ratio of 1:6 is equal to 9:54.

Multiply both sides of your original ratio (1:6) by nine. 1x9=9 and 6x9=54.
