On a scale drawing, a park is 4.5 inches long. The scale is 0.5 inch = 10ft.
What is the actual length of the park?
Using the given scale, 0.5 inch on the drawing represents 10 feet in real life. Therefore, 1 inch on the drawing represents 20 feet in real life (multiply both sides by 2).
To find the actual length of the park, we can use the proportion:
1 inch on drawing / 20 feet actual length = 4.5 inches on drawing / x feet actual length
(where x is the actual length we want to find)
Cross-multiplying, we get:
1 inch on drawing * x feet actual length = 20 feet actual length * 4.5 inches on drawing
Simplifying:
x = (20 feet * 4.5 inches) / 1 inch = 90 feet
Therefore, the actual length of the park is 90 feet.

You're welcome! Feel free to ask if you have any more questions.
To find the actual length of the park, we need to use the scale provided. The scale is 0.5 inch = 10 ft.
First, we need to determine how many times the scale fits into 4.5 inches.
4.5 inches ÷ 0.5 inches = 9
Next, we multiply the number of scale units by the conversion factor. In this case, each scale unit represents 10 ft.
9 × 10 ft = 90 ft
Therefore, the actual length of the park is 90 feet.
