Question

1 inch : 12feet. if the actual width of the tent is 36 feet how wide is the tent.​

Answer 1

If the actual width is 36 feet, then the tent is 3 inches wide in scale.

Explanation:

Let x be the width in inches.

The scale is: 1 inch : 12feet. The scale can be represented as inches to feet ratio and then equivalent ratios will be used

This can be expressed as fraction as 1/12

The equivalent ratios are:

`(1)/(12) = (x)/(36)\\(36)/(12) = x\\x = 3`

Hence,

If the actual width is 36 feet, then the tent is 3 inches wide in scale.
