Question

a gymnasium is 88 feet long and 76 wide on a blueprint the gymnasium is 5.5 inches long what is the width of the gymnasium on the blueprint brainiest pleas3 meed help show work

Answer 1

First we would need to find the portion of the gymnasium to the blueprint to do that please do this:

88/5.5 = 16

The length divided by the blueprint's length

Since we know that the gymnasium is 16 times the blueprint, to find the width divide 16 to 76:

76/16 = 4.75

The width divided by the 16 times

The width of the blueprint is 4.75 inches

Answer 2

Scale = $\frac{88}{5.5}$ = 16 feet/inch

or 16 feet = 1 inch

Hence, Width = 76 feet x 1 inch/16 feet or $\frac{76}{16}$= 4.75 inches

Hence, width on the blueprint = 4.75 inches.
