A scale drawing of a building has a width to length ratio of 3:4.which best describes the width of the scale drawing if the length of the scale drawing is 37

Question

A) 49 3/4 in.

b)27 3/4 in.

c)111in.

d)37 3/4 in

Answer 1

Ratio:

Width = 3

Length = 4

Scale Drawing:

Width = x

Length = 37

3 / 4 = x / 37

Cross Multiply: 3 * 37 = 4 * x

Simplify Step 1: 111 = 4 * x

Simplify Step 2: 111 / 4 = x

x = 27 3/4
