Answer 1

Answer:

The actual stage is 42 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Determine the conversion factor as shown;

1 inch in the drawing represents 3 feet in the actual drawing

To convert a measurement in inches in the drawing to an actual measurement, we use a conversion factor of 3. In the same way, to convert a measurement in feet in the actual stage to the drawing measurement in inches, we use a conversion factor of (1/3).

Step 2

Convert 14 inches in the drawing to the actual measurement of the stage as follows;

Actual stage length=drawing length×conversion factor

where;

drawing length=14 inches

conversion factor=3

replacing;

Actual stage length=(14×3)=42 feet

The actual stage is 42 feet long
