Piero would like to make a scale drawing for a house whose frontis 155 feet long. If his scale drawing is 1/60 of the actual size, about what length should be used for the front of the house?

Respuesta :

Using proportions, it is found that the length of the drawing is of 2.583 feet.

---------------

  • Scale problems are solved using proportions, by a rule of three.
  • The length of the front is of 155 feet.
  • The drawing has a scale of 1/60 of the actual size, that is, each actual feet is worth 1/60 on the drawing.

Thus:

1 feet - 1/60 feet

155 feet - x

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]x = 155 \times \frac{1}{60} = \frac{155}{60} = 2.583[/tex]

The length of the drawing is of 2.583 feet.
