Answer:
Distance on drawing is 11.7 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
A scale is a factor that can be used to either increase or decrease the size of an object.
Scale = [tex]\frac{distance on drawing}{original distance}[/tex]
Given that:
scale = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] to 1 inch, and the original distance = 93 inches
So,
[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] : 1 = [tex]\frac{distance on drawing}{93}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] ÷ 1 = [tex]\frac{distance on drawing}{93}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{1}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{distance on drawing}{93}[/tex]
distance on drawing = [tex]\frac{3*93}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{279}{2}[/tex]
= 139.5
distance on drawing = 139.5 inches
Since 12 inches = 1 foot, then;
Distance on drawing in feet = [tex]\frac{139.5}{12}[/tex]
= 11.625 feet
Distance on drawing is 11.7 feet.
