Answer:
10 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: actual length = 45 ft
Explanation:
Scale drawn:
1/2 inch = 5ft
Meaning that if the drawing scale is 0.5 inch then the actual bus would be 5ft.
If the length of the drawn school bus is 4 1/2 inches. We can write:
1/2 = 5
4 1/2 = x
=> x = (5 x 4 1/2)/1/2
Or x = (5 x 4.5)/0.5
x = 22.5/0.5
x = 45
Therefore the actual length of the bus is 45 ft
