A scale drawing for a 32.8-ft wide billboard is 0.59 ft wide. How many times bigger is the billboard than the drawing?
a. 55.59 times
c. 57.83 times
b. 56.79 times
d. 54.29 times
To find how many times bigger the billboard is than the drawing, we can divide the width of the billboard by the width of the drawing.
Billboard width / Drawing width = 32.8 ft / 0.59 ft
Dividing these two values, we get:
32.8 / 0.59 = 55.59
Therefore, the billboard is 55.59 times bigger than the drawing.
Answer: a. 55.59 times
