The answer is 1/6. To solve, simply set up an equation. It will be x/6. As you know, x can stand for anything. 1 will be the reasonable number for variable, x. Why? Well since x=1x. You don't actually write "1" Hope this makes your understanding clear.
That’s a lot of words i don’t know
Answer: 4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the pool in the drawing be represented by x.
Since scale drawing of a pool has scale of 1 in :4 ft and the actual pool is 16 ft wide, this can be represented in an equation as:
1/4 = x/16
Cross multiply
4 × x = 1 × 16
4x = 16
x = 16/4
x = 4
Therefore, the pool representation in the drawing is 4 inches
