A certain blueprint shows two fences. Fence A is 1 1/2 yards long but is 1 7/8 inches long on the blueprint. What is the unit rate for yards per inches on the blueprint​?

Answer 1

1 1/2 divided by 1 7/8 =

(3/2)/(15/8) = (3/2)(8/15) = 4/5

5 inches represents 4 yards

1 inch on the blueprint = 4/5 of a yard actual fence length
