Mabel drew a scale drawing of a campsite. The tent is 2 inches wide in the drawing. The actual tent is 8 feet wide. What scale did Mabel use for the drawing? 1 inch : feet Submit

Respuesta :

Answer

The scale Mabel used for the drawing is

1 inch = 4 feet.

Explanation

On Mabel's drawing, the tent is 2 inches wide. But in real life, the actual tent is 8 feet wide.

So,

2 inches on Mabel's drawing = 8 feet in real life

2 inches = 8 feet

Divide both sides by 2 in order to obtain the scale used

(2 inches)/2 = (8 feet)/2

1 inch = 4 feet.

Hope this Helps!!!
