Question

PLEASE HELP ME!!! The students in Suzanne's school are painting a rectangular mural outside the building that will be 15 feet by 45 feet. To prepare they are create a scale drawing that represents 20% of the given dimensions. What is the length and width of the scale drawing?

Answer 1

Answer:

length of scale drawing = 9 feet

width of scale drawing = 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual dimension  15 feet by 45 feet.

length = 45 feet

width = 15 feet

Dimension on drawing is 20% of actual dimension.

20% = 20/100

Thus,

20% of 15 feet = 20/100 * 15 feet = 3 feet

20% of 45 feet = 20/100 * 45 feet = 9 feet

Thus, length of scale drawing = 9 feet

width of scale drawing = 3 feet
