Question

Ron made a scale drawing of his bedroom. The scale in

the drawing is 2 inches represents 5 feet. The actual
length of his bedroom was 13 feet. What is the length of
the bedroom on the scale drawing?


PLEASE HELP!!

Answer 1

`5.2\:\mathrm{in}`

Explanation:

We can set up the following proportion and solve for length (
`\ell`):

`(2)/(5)=(\ell)/(13),\\\\\ell=(2\cdot 13)/(5)=(26)/(5)=\boxed{5.2\:\mathrm{in}}`
