Spencer draws a rectangle to represent the size of the city block where he lives. The rectangle is labeled in inches. Spencer decides he wants to make a smaller scale drawing of the rectangle in which the width is just 1.5 inches long. What will be the length of the rectangle in Spencer's new scale drawing? Write your answer in decimal form
Let's assume the original length of the rectangle is L inches. Since the width of the new scale drawing is 1.5 inches long, and the scale is the same for both dimensions, the length of the new scale drawing will be L/1.5 = L*2/3 inches long.
