The scale drawing is
Inches : Feet
0.5 : 3
We need to find the length of the classroom on the drawing if it is 30 feet
Let us use the ratio above to find it
Inches : Feet
0.5 : 3
x : 30
by using cross multiplication
[tex]x\times3=0.5\times30[/tex]3x = 15
Divide both sides by 3 to find x
[tex]\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{15}{3}[/tex]x = 5
The length on the drawing must be 5 inches
a) 6 inches is incorrect because the length on the drawing must be 5 inches
b) The student is 6 ft long
let us use the ratio above to find his length on the drawing
Inches : Feet
0.5 : 3
y : 6
By using cross multiplication
[tex]\begin{gathered} y\times3=0.5\times6 \\ 3y=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]Divide both sides by 3 to find y
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3y}{3}=\frac{3}{3} \\ y=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]b) his length on the drawing is 1 inch
for number c) choose any length by feet and use the ratio to find its length on the drawing
Your height is 8 feet
Let us find it in the drawing
Inches : Feet
0.5 : 3
h : 8
By using cross multiplication
[tex]\begin{gathered} h\times3=0.5\times8 \\ 3h=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Divide both sides by 3 to find h
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3h}{3}=\frac{4}{3} \\ h=\frac{4}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]c) Your height on the drawing is 4/3 inches
