The plan of a terrace has a scale of 2 inches : 6 feet. What is the actual length if the scaled length of the terrace is 54 inches?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4.5 is the correct answer

Answer:

x = 162 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the scaled length and plug it into our scale to find the actual length.

2 inches : 6 feet = 54 inches : x feet

[tex]\frac{2 in}{6 ft} = \frac{54 in}{x ft}[/tex]

Cross-multiply.

2x = 54 * 6

2x = 324

x = 162 ft
