Question

ms. young 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 | 1 in. to 4 ft 10 in. | 40 ft |? options: 1 in. to 4 ft, 4 in. to 1 ft, 10 in. to 1 ft (with a triangle scale drawing labeled 6 in., 8 in., 10 in.)

Explanation:

Step1: Check given ratios

The first two rows show 6 in. (drawing) : 24 ft (actual) = 1:4, and 8 in. : 32 ft = 1:4.

Step2: Calculate ratio for 10 in.

10 in. (drawing) : 40 ft (actual) = $\frac{10}{40} = \frac{1}{4}$, so ratio is 1 in. to 4 ft.

Answer:

1 in. to 4 ft
