Question

You build a model of Laurel Park using the scale 1.5 inches:10 feet. If the model 94.5

inches wide, what is the width of the school campus?

Answer 1

The width of the school campus is:

`\boxed{ \underline{ \rm{630 \: feet}}}`

Explanation:

Scale = 1.5 inches : 10 feet

That means, 1.5 inches is equals to 10 feet in real.

Then for 1 inch:

⇛ 10 / 1.5 feet

⇛ 10/3 feet

We need to find for 94.5 inches,

⇛ 94.5 inches = 94.5 × 2/3 feet

⇛ 94.5 inches = 63 feet

Thus, the width of the school campus is 63 feet.
