Question

A scale drawing of an office space uses a scale of 1 in : 5 yd. The scale drawing has an area of 12 square inches. What is the area of the actual office space

Answer 1

Answer:

60 Yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ooooooooo Proportion question!

We can write an equivalent fraction here:

$\frac{1}{5} =\frac{12}{x}$

Because 12 wold be equivalent to the 1 inches.

We can multiply by 12 because 1*12 would be 12.

5*12=60.

x=60, which is the answer.
