Answer:

The park is 31 inches wide in the drawing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Vicky drew a scale drawing of a city. She used the scale 1 inch : 2 yards.

The actual width of a neighborhood park is 62 yards.

Now, to find the width of park in drawing.

Let the width of park in drawing be [tex]x.[/tex]

The scale drawing of the city is 1 inch : 2 yards.

So, 1 inch is equivalent to 2 yards.

Thus, [tex]x[/tex] is equivalent to 62 yards.

Now, to get the width of park in drawing by using cross multiplication method:

[tex]\frac{1}{2} =\frac{x}{62}[/tex]

By cross multiplying we get:

[tex]62=2x[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

[tex]31=x[/tex]

[tex]x=31\ inches.[/tex]

Therefore, the park is 31 inches wide in the drawing.
