Question

1. aki made a scale drawing of his home. the scale was 2 inches to 3 feet. if the drawing is 2 feet tall, how tall is his actual house?

Explanation:

Step1: Convert feet to inches

1 pie = 12 pulgadas, así que 2 pies = \(2\times12 = 24\) pulgadas.

Step2: Establecer la proporción

La escala es 2 pulgadas : 3 pies. Sea \(x\) la altura real de la casa en pies. Tenemos la proporción \(\frac{2}{3}=\frac{24}{x}\).

Step3: Resolver la proporción

Multiplicar cruzadamente: \(2x = 3\times24\), \(2x=72\), \(x = 36\).

Answer:

36 pies
