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 |? 8 in. | 32 ft | 10 in. | 40 ft | there is a triangle labeled scale drawing with sides 6 in., 8 in., 10 in.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate ratio for first pair

$\frac{6\ \text{in.}}{24\ \text{ft}} = \frac{1}{4}$

Step2: Verify with second pair

$\frac{8\ \text{in.}}{32\ \text{ft}} = \frac{1}{4}$

Step3: Confirm with third pair

$\frac{10\ \text{in.}}{40\ \text{ft}} = \frac{1}{4}$

Answer:

1 in. : 4 ft
