Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the ratio for 8 - in scale - drawing to actual length

To find the ratio of 8 in. (scale - drawing) to 32 ft (actual length), divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor. The GCD of 8 and 32 is 8.
$\frac{8}{8}:\frac{32}{8}=1:4$

Answer:

1 in. to 4 ft
