The link between the bases on a baseball field is 90 feet. A scale drawing shows the distance between the bases at 2 1/2 inches. 1 inch on this drawing equals how many feet?

Answer:

36 feet.

Explanation:

If the original link is 90 feet long, but the scale is 2.5 inches, you would divide 90 by that second 2.5

That gets you your 36 feet.

A way to check it could be by adding 26 +26, then a half of a 36 (18), since its two wholes and one half (2.5).

I'm pretty sure this is right, and I hope it helped!!
