Question

ms. young made a scale drawing of the community garden in her neighborhood. the actual lengths of the garden are shown in the table. choose an equivalent ratio that shows each length in the scale drawing to the length in the garden. length in scale drawing: 6 in., actual length in garden: 24 ft, ratio: 1 in. to 4 ft; length in scale drawing: 8 in., actual length in garden: 32 ft, ratio:? (options: 1 in. to 4 ft, 4 in. to 1 ft, 8 in. to 1 ft); length in scale drawing: 10 in., actual length in garden: 40 ft, ratio: 1 in. to 4 ft. there is also a triangle scale drawing with sides 6 in., 8 in., 10 in.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the ratio

The ratio is scale drawing length to actual length: $\frac{8\ \text{in.}}{32\ \text{ft}} = \frac{1\ \text{in.}}{4\ \text{ft}}$

Step2: Match with options

The calculated ratio matches "1 in. to 4 ft".

Answer:

1 in. to 4 ft
