Brenna measured a city and made a scale drawing. In real life, a neighborhood park is 132 yards long. It is 44 inches long in the drawing. What scale did Brenna use?
1 inch : yards
To find the scale, we need to determine the ratio between the length in the drawing and the length in real life.
Since the park is 132 yards long in real life and 44 inches long in the drawing, we can set up the following proportion:
1 inch / 132 yards = 44 inches / x yards
To solve for x, we cross multiply:
44 inches * 132 yards = 1 inch * x yards
5832 inches * yards = 1 inch * x yards
Dividing both sides by yards, we get:
5832 inches = x
Therefore, the scale Brenna used is 1 inch: 5832 yards.
Are you sure
Yes, based on the given measurements and calculations, the scale that Brenna used is 1 inch: 5832 yards.

Apologies for the previous incorrect response.
To find the scale, we can set up the following proportion:
1 inch / x yards = 44 inches / 132 yards
Cross multiplying, we have:
1 inch * 132 yards = 44 inches * x yards
132 yards = 44x yards
Dividing both sides by 44, we find:
132 yards / 44 = x yards
Simplifying, we have:
3 yards = x yards
Therefore, the scale Brenna used is 1 inch : 3 yards.
