Josh is building a sandbox for his little sister. He uses these plans, which have a scale of 2 in. : 3 ft.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Width of 6ft and length of 9ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The sandbox has a ratio of 2:3. If you plug the numbers in with the ratio, you can find the actual dimensions.

Let x be the length

Let y be the width

(Length)

2in / 3ft = 6in / (x)ft

2in / 3ft = 6in / 9ft

(Width)

2in / 3ft = 4in / (y)ft

2in / 3ft = 4in / 6ft
