Question

Ken measured the middle school and made a scale drawing. The scale of the drawing was 1 inch : 4 feet. The gym is 44 feet wide in real life. How wide is the gym in the drawing?

Answer 1

Why only 5pounts lolo so its so many points

Answer 2

So here's what we have so far:

2 mm: 8 m

We can factor out a 2:

1 mm: 4 m

 

If you want, we can go further by converting into the same unit. A little unorthodox, but just to show how to do it:

1 meter = 1000 millimeters

4 * 1000 = 4000

1 mm: 4000 mm
