Rita drew a scale drawing of a picnic area near the river.
The picnic area, which is 135 yards long in real life, is 15 inches long in the drawing.
What scale did Rita use for the drawing
To find the scale that Rita used for the drawing, we need to find the ratio of the length in real life to the length in the drawing.
135 yards = 405 feet = 4860 inches
So, the scale is:
4860 inches (real life) / 15 inches (drawing) = 324
Therefore, Rita used a scale of 1 inch on the drawing represents 324 inches in real life for the picnic area near the river.
