Question

The plan of a patio deck is shown at the right. The scale is 2 inches: 6 feet. What are the length and width of the deck

Answer 1

5in.=15ft. 2in.=6ft.

Answer 2

5in.=15ft. 2in.=6ft.

Explanation:

What you have to do is translate 6ft. into inches which is 72in. Then you divide that by 2in. From that you get 36in. You then take that 36in. and multiply it by the 5in for the length. from that you get 180in. You divide the 180in. by 12 to turn your inches into feet and you end up with 15ft.

I hope this helps.
