Question

PLEASE HELP ME WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! Town planners are planning a 500 foot by 700 foot parking lot by making a scale drawing that is 90 inches by 126 inches. What is the scale of inches in the drawing to inches in the actual object?

Answer 1

Answer:

The approximate value of the scale is 1:67

or the actual value without approximation is 1: 66 2/3 ( 66 while number , two over three)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to figure out the scale in inches of the drawing to the actual object.

The actual object is 500 ft by 700 ft

while the drawing is 90 inches by 126 inches

Mathematically, we know that 12 inches = 1 foot

So the actual object will be;

500(12) by 700(12)

= 6000 inches by 8400 inches

Now let’s make a division to get the scale;

6000/90 by 8400/126

we get 66.67 as answers on both ends

This is approximately equal to 67

So the scale we have here is 1:67
