Question

Kendra's bedroom measures 9 feet by 12 feet. She must create and present a scale drawing of her bedroom for math class. If she is using an 8 inch by 10 inch sheet of paper, which of the following would be the best scale for Kendra to use?​

Answer 1

The scale is shown as the length in the drawing, then a colon (":"), then the matching length on the real thing. Example: this drawing has a scale of "1:10", so anything drawn with the size of "1" would have a size of "10" in the real world, so a measurement of 150mm on the drawing would be 1500mm on the real horse.
