Question

Consider best strategy to solve the problem. If 9 inches are equal to 27 feet on a map how many feet are equal to three inches

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

If 9 inches equal 27 what you would do is divide in order to find how much feet would be in 1 inch. So:

9/27= 3 feet

Then to find how much feet are equal to 3 inches you just multiply that by 3. So your answer is 9 feet.

Overall the work should look like

9 inches= 27 feet

9/9 inches= 27/9 feet

1 inch = 3 feet

3 inches x 3 feet

= 9
