Question

The scale for the drawing of a rectangular playing field is 2 inches= 5 feet. Write an equation you can use to find the dimensions of the actual field, where x is a dimension of the scale drawing(in inches) and y is the corresponding dimension of the actual field( in feet)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Scale

2 inches : 5 feet

Actual dimensions

Let x be the dimension of the scale drawing (in inches) and y, the corresponding dimension of the actual field (in feet).

Scaled dimension = scale × actual dimension

Actual dimension, x = y × 5 ft/2 in

2 × x = 5 × y

Equation:

2x = 5y
