Question

a scale drawing of an automobile has a scale of 1 inch = 1/2 foot. the actual width of the care is 8 feet . what is the width on the scale drawing?

Answer 1

So for every 1/2 of a foot of the car, the scale model is 1 inch long. The car is 8 feet wide, so the scale would be 16 inches wide because it takes 16 1/2 feet to equal 8 feet. 

Answer 2

Hello Vdb7654! The width on the scale drawing is 16 inches. I hope this helped you.
