The 18th hole at the Riverwoods Golf Course is 441 yards long. How long would it be on a model with a scale of 2.5 inches to 100 yards?

I do not understand how to figure this out.

Lisa would tell you that

x/2.5 = 441/100

is the answer 11.025?

Yes

To figure out the length of the 18th hole on a model with a scale of 2.5 inches to 100 yards, you need to set up a proportion.

First, let's convert the given length of the hole (441 yards) into inches since the scale is given in inches. Since there are 36 inches in a yard, we can calculate the length of the hole in inches by multiplying 441 (yards) by 36 (inches/yard):

441 yards * 36 inches/yard = 15,876 inches

Now let's set up the proportion:

2.5 inches / 100 yards = x inches / 15,876 inches

To solve this proportion, cross-multiply and then solve for x:

100 * x = 2.5 * 15,876

x = (2.5 * 15,876) / 100

x ≈ 396.9 inches

Therefore, the length of the 18th hole on the model with a scale of 2.5 inches to 100 yards would be approximately 396.9 inches.
