Answer 2

Answer:

$Scale = 1\ in : 8\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Scale\ Measurement = 20.5in$

$Actual\ Measurement = 164ft$

Required

Determine the scale

The scale is calculated using the following ratio:

$Scale = Scale\ Measurement : Actual\ Measurement;$

Substitute values for Scale and Actual Measurements

$Scale = 20.5\ in : 164\ ft$

Divide ratio by 20.5

$Scale = 20.5/20.5\ in : 164/20.5\ ft$

$Scale = 1\ in : 8\ ft$

This implies that: 1 inch on scale represents 8 ft in actual measurement
