Answer:

The width of Tyrone's actual patio is 16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2ft}{1in}$ = $\frac{x}{8}$ If we look at what we know, we see that the scale tells us that 1 inch is proportional to 2 ft. What do we need to multiple 1 inch by to get 8 inches? 8. So, we multiply 2 feet by 8 to get the actual size of the patio which is 16 feet.
