Question

greg drew a scale drawing of a campground. the picnic area is 22 inches wide in the drawing. the actual picnic area is 33 yards wide. what scale did greg use for the drawing? 2 inches : yards

Explanation:

Step1: Find the scale factor for 1 - inch

We know that 22 inches in the drawing represents 33 yards in actual. To find out how many yards 1 - inch represents, we divide the actual length by the drawing - length. So, for 1 - inch, the actual length is $\frac{33}{22}=1.5$ yards.

Step2: Find the actual length for 2 - inches

Since 1 - inch represents 1.5 yards, then 2 inches represent $2\times1.5 = 3$ yards.
