Question

Bruce drew a scale drawing of a house and its lot. The house's driveway, which is 17 feet

wide in real life, is 34 inches wide in the drawing. What scale did Bruce use for the drawing?

Answer 1

1/6

Explanation:

Convert 17 feet to inches. 17×12 = 204

204 inches to 34 inches.

204/34 = 6

Remember we are scaling down

204× 1/6 = 34
