Question

1 inch : 12feet. if the actual width of the tent is 36 feet how wide is the tent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the actual width is 36 feet, then the tent is 3 inches wide in scale.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the width in inches.

The scale is: 1 inch : 12feet. The scale can be represented as inches to feet ratio and then equivalent ratios will be used

This can be expressed as fraction as 1/12

The equivalent ratios are:

$\frac{1}{12} = \frac{x}{36}\\\frac{36}{12} = x\\x = 3$

Hence,

If the actual width is 36 feet, then the tent is 3 inches wide in scale.
