Question

The scale for the drawing of a rectangular

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=\frac{2}{3}x$  is the required equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

If $y$ represents the number of feet and $x$ represents the number of inches, we get the given statement "2 inches = 3 feet" in mathematical equation as:

$2x = 3y$

Solving this equation for $y$ will give us the required equation.

Actual dimensions are:

$Width\:=\:\frac{2}{3}\left(12\right)=8\:feet\\\\Length\:=\:\frac{2}{3}\left(24\right)=16\:feet$
