A ten-foot fence is 8 inches long on a scale drawing. What is the scale?

Question

macio06 · Answer

To find scale we have to prodive common unit, let say inches. 10 foot = 120 inch becauyse 1 foot = 12 inch so 10foot*12=120 ich Now we know that 8 inch in drawing is 120 in real, so the scale is 8:120 or 120 8 = 120 : 8 8 : 8 = 15 1 - its the result

The scale of the drawing is 1:15, indicating that 1 inch on the drawing corresponds to 15 inches in real life. This is obtained by converting the fence's height to inches and simplifying the ratio of the drawing length to the real length. Hence, 8 inches in the drawing represents a height of 120 inches in reality.
