Question

John needs to make a scale drawing of his school building for art class. If the building is 256.25 meters long, and John scales it down using a ratio of 25 meters to 1 inch, how long will the building be in the sketch? 12.62 inches

Answer 1

The Answer Is 10.25 inches. Since the building is 256.25 meters and 25 meters equals 1 inch, then you would divide 256.25 by 25.
256.25/25= 10.25 inches. I hope this helps!
