Question

Suppose the length of a vehicle is drawn to scale. The scale of the

drawing is 1:30. if the length of the drawing of the vehicle on paper is
9.95 inches, how long is the vehicle in feet. (Use only a number for your
answer) *

Answer 1

24.88

Explanation:

If the scale of the drawing is 1:30, it means that the vehicle drawing is 30 times smaller than the actual vehicle.

• Vehicle Length / 30 = Drawing Length

With the above information in mind, we can calculate the length of the vehicle in inches:

• Vehicle Length / 30 = 9.95 in

• Vehicle Length = 30 * 9.95 in

• Vehicle Length = 298.5 in

Finally we convert inches to feet(dividing inches by 12):

• 298.5 / 12 = 24.875 feet
