Question

Willie has a drawing that has a RV and a tree on it and the drawing is 1/12 the size of the actual RV andtree. The tallest point of the RV is 11 ft 3 inches and the tree is 25 feet tall. How many inches tall is thetree in the drawing? Round to the nearest whole number if necessary.

Answer 1

The tree in the drawing is 25 inches.

Since the scale of the drawing is 1/12,
1/12(25) = 25/12

The tree in the drawing is 25/12 feet tall. We need inches, so multiply this by 12:
25/12(12/1) = 300/12 = 25 inches
