Question

Each wall measures about 65 feet tall and 80 feet wide. If Os Gemeos did a sketch on paper that was 8 inches tall for one wall, how wide would their sketch have to be to stay in proportion?

Answer 1

Given :

Wall measures about 65 feet tall and 80 feet wide.

To Find :

If Os Gemeos did a sketch on paper that was 8 inches tall for one wall, how wide would their sketch have to be to stay in proportion.

Solution :

Let, width of sketch is x.

Since, they are in proportion :

`(65)/(10)=(65+8)/(x)\\\\x = (10* 73)/(65)\\\\x = 11.23\ feet`

Therefore, width of sketch should be 11.23 feet.

Hence, this is the required solution.
