Question

The students in Roberto's school are painting a mural that will be 15 feet by 8 feet. First they make a scale drawing of the mural with a scale of 2 feet : 5 feet. Question 1 Part A Write an equation for the proportional relationship between the drawing's lengths x in feet and the actual mural's lengths y in feet.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2 * (y/5) feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Actual dimension of mural = 15 feet by 8 feet

Scale drawing = 2 feet : 5 feet

2 feets on the scale drawing represents 5 feets of the actual drawing.

Drawing length (x)

Actual mural length (y)

x = 2 * (y/5) feets

Hence, dimension of scale drawing:

x = 2 * (15/5) ; x = 2 * (8/5)

x = 6 feets ; 3.2 feets
