Question

A scale drawing has a scale of 1 in: 10 ft. What is the distance on the drawing for an actual distance of 45 ft

Answer 1

the scale drawing is 1 in: 10 ft

There is 45 ft, and you are looking for the amount of inchs.

Divide 45 ft with 10 ft to get inch, which is x

45/10 = x

4.5 = x

4.5 inch is the distance on the drawing, when the actual distance is 45 feet
