Question

(answer please, dont use me for my points)

Andre drew a plan of a courtyard at a scale of 1 to 60. On his drawing, one side of the courtyard is 2.75 inches.
1.What is the actual measurement of that side of the courtyard? Express your answer in inches and then in feet.
2.If Andre made another courtyard scale drawing at a scale of 1 to 12, would this drawing be smaller or larger than the first drawing? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

1. 165in. and 13.75 ft.
2. It would be smaller because it has a lower scale value
Ex. The first is scaled 60 time and the second is scaled 12 times so the first one of 60 would be scaled 48 times bigger that the second scale to 12.
