In a model of a construction project, 1 yard is represented as 0.25 inch. What would be the actual area of a garden in square yards, if it is represented by 20 square inches in the model?

Respuesta :

Actual length: Model Length
1 yard : 0.25 inch

Actual Area: Model Area
(1)^2 : (0.25)^2
1 square yard: 0.0625 square inch

0.0625 square inch — 1 square yard
20 square inches — 1/0.0625 x 20
= 320 square yards

Therefore the actual area of a garden is 320 square yards.
