80/16 = x/48
80*48/16 = x
x = 240

the mural will be 240in in length

Answer 2

Answer:

240 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The students planned the mural with a diagram that is 80 in. long and 16 in. high.

The mural is 48 in. high.

To Find: What is its length?

Solution:

The students planned the mural with a diagram that is 80 in. long and 16 in. high.

Actual height = 48 inches

To calculate scale

So, 16 inch = 48 inch

So, 1 inch = $\frac{48}{16}$ inches

So, 1 inch = 3 inches

Length of room = 80 inches

Actual length of room = $80\times 3$

                                     = $240$  

So,  its length is 240 inches.

Hence the actual length of room is 240 inches.
