Question

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, actual length in garden, ratio 6 in., 24 ft,? 8 in., 32 ft, 1 in. to 4 ft 10 in., 40 ft, 4 in. to 1 ft 6 in. to 1 ft

Explanation:

Step1: Convert feet to inches

We know 1 ft = 12 in. So 24 ft = 24×12 = 288 in.

Step2: Find the ratio

The ratio of the length in the scale - drawing to the actual length is $\frac{6}{288}=\frac{1}{48}$. In terms of feet, since 48 in = 4 ft, the ratio is 1 in. to 4 ft.

Answer:

1 in. to 4 ft
