long.


What scale did Caitlin use to draw the park?
o 1 inch equals 4 feet
4 inches equal 4 feet
o 1 inch equals foot
4 inches equal 1 foot

Answer 1

Answer: 1 inch equals 4 feet

Explanation:

By an online search, I´ve found that:

The park is 48 ft long.

Caitlin´s drawing is 12 inches long.

To find how much each inch represents, we need to take the quotient between those lengths:

48ft/12in = 4ft/in.

We also can write this amount as:

4 feet per inch.

This means that each inch represents 4 feets.

Then the correct option is the first one: 1 inch equals 4 feet
