Ayana made a scale drawing of a house and its lot. The porch, which is 12 feet wide in real life, is 2 inches wide in the drawing. What scale did Ayana use for the drawing?
1 inch:___ feet
To find the scale, we can set up a proportion using the given information:
1 inch / x feet = 2 inches / 12 feet
Cross multiplying, we get:
2 inches * x feet = 1 inch * 12 feet
2x = 12
x = 12 / 2
x = 6
Therefore, the scale Ayana used for the drawing is 1 inch: 6 feet.
