Question

On a scaled map,a rectangular poster has dimensions of 6 inches by 8 inches.If one inch on the scale equates to 10 meters in reality,what would be the area of the poster?

Answer 1

If one inch equals 10 meters, then multiply each inch by 10 to get the real dimensions (in meters)
6 * 10 = 60
8 * 10 = 80
Then multiply the length of the sides to get the area
60 * 80 = 4800 meters squared.
