Answer 1

Answer:

1 inch = 2.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Jessica plans to plant a garden 55 feet away from her house.

On a map of her backyard, she drew the garden 22 inches away from the house.

From the above question, we know that:

22 inches = 55 feet

1 inch = x

Cross Multiply

22 inches × x = 1 inches × 55 feet

x = 1 inches × 55 feet/22 inches

x = 2.5feet.

Therefore, the scale is given as: 1 inch = 2.5 feet
