Question

a wooden floor has a length of 27 yards and a width of 18 yards. julia made a scale drawing of the wooden floor using a scale of 1 inch = 3 yards. label the dimensions of the scale drawing.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate length of scale - drawing

Divide actual length by scale factor. Given actual length = 27 yards and scale 1 inch = 3 yards. So, length in scale - drawing = $\frac{27}{3}=9$ inches.

Step2: Calculate width of scale - drawing

Divide actual width by scale factor. Given actual width = 18 yards and scale 1 inch = 3 yards. So, width in scale - drawing = $\frac{18}{3}=6$ inches.

Answer:

Length: 9 in
Width: 6 in
