Question 567760: using proportional relationships. the scale is 1.5in:60ft
find the length of segment AB.segment AB equals .5in.
how do i solve for this because i guessed that 1in was half of 60 (30ft) & .5in might be half of 30 (15ft)? was i correct? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! using proportional relationships. the scale is 1.5in:60ft

-----------------
1.5 in = 60 ft
1 in = 40 ft
-----------------
0.5 in --> 20 ft
====================
or, 0.5 in is 1/3 of 1.5 in
60*(1/3) = 20 ft
