Question

chloe made a scale drawing of a football field. now look at the relationship between the area of the scale drawing and the area of the actual football field. how many square yards are represented by 1 square inch? complete the equation to help you solve. scale width length area 1 yd = 1 yd 30 yd 90 yd 2700 yd² 1 in = 1 yd 30 in 90 in 2700 in² 1 in² =? yd² 2700÷□ = 2700 3² 2² 3¹ 3³ 2³

Explanation:

Step1: Set up proportion

Let $x$ be the number of square - yards represented by 1 square - inch. We know that the area of the actual field is 1800 square yards and the area of the scale - drawing is 200 square inches.
We can set up the proportion $\frac{1800}{200}=x$.

Step2: Solve the proportion

$x = \frac{1800}{200}=9$.

Answer:

9
