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 divide the length of the real picnic area by the length of the drawing.
Scale = Real length / Drawing length
Scale = 135 yards / 15 inches
First, we need to convert yards to inches:
1 yard = 36 inches
135 yards = 135 * 36 inches = 4860 inches
Now we can calculate the scale:
Scale = 4860 inches / 15 inches
Scale = 324
Therefore, Rita used a scale of 1:324 for the drawing of the picnic area near the river.
