Answer:
The length of the actual bakery is 936 inches or 78 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told:
Janet measured a shopping center and made a scale drawing. The scale she used was 1 inch : 6 feet.
Let both the measurement of the shopping center and scale drawing be written in feet
1 foot = 12 inches
6 foot = x
Cross Multiply
x = 6 × 12 inches
x = 72 inches
Hence, the scale drawing =
Scale drawing : shopping center
1 inch = 72 inches
A bakery in the shopping center is 13 inches in the drawing. How long is the actual bakery?
This is calculated as:
1 inch = 72 inches
13 inches = x inches
Cross Multiply
x = 13 × 72 inches
x = 936 inches
The length of the shopping center = 936 inches
We convert back to feet
= 12 inches = 1foot
936 inches = x
Cross Multiply
12x = 936 × 1
x = 936/12
x = 78 feet
Therefore the length of the actual bakery is 936 inches or 78 feet
