A scale drawing of a city park uses a scale of 3 inches = 9 feet if the width of the park on the drawing is 9 inches, how wide is the actual w

Answer 1

The scale for the drawing shows that every 3 inches drawn on the picture is the same as 9 feet in real life.

Since the width is drawn at 9 inches and 9 is 3 times larger than 3, you can multiply 9 by 3 to find the actual width:

3 in = 9 in

9 ft x

3 in • 3 = 9 in

9 ft • 3 27 ft

The actual width would be 27 ft .
