Question 171108: how do you solve scale drawings and model questions like
you are building a deck. you make a scale drawing with a scale of 2 feet=1/2 inch. the actual deck is 18 feet long and 12 feet wide.
determin the length and width of the scale drawing?
Answer by Mathtut(3670) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if your scale is 1/2in=2ft. What you must do first is find out how many 2ft sections you have. You do this by dividing the total feet in question by 2. Then multiply it by the drawing scale 1/2.
:
18/2=9......9(1/2)=9/2
:
12/2=6..... 6(1/2)=3
:
so the length by the width on the scale drawing is 9/2 x 3 inches
