Respuesta :

Answer:

Nathan use scale of 5 inches : 2 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Nathan drew a scale drawing of a hotel.

A room in the hotel is 55 inches long in the drawing.

The actual room is 22 feet long.

Now, to find the scale Nathan use.

The scale drawing of room = 55 inches.

The actual room = 22 feet.

Now, to get the scale Nathan use we set the ratio:

The scale drawing of room : The actual room.

= [tex]55\ inches:22\ feet[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{55}{22}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=5\ inches:2\ feet.[/tex]

Therefore, Nathan use scale of 5 inches : 2 feet.
