Answer:
On the scale 24 feet represents 62.06 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given scale:
14 inch represents 3 feet
Now, covert both the parameter into same length parameter.
1 inch = 0.08333 feet
⇒14 inch = 14 x 0.08333 = 1.16 feet
or, by conversion 14 inch = 1.16 ft
Hence, on the given scale, (14 inch = 1.16 ft ) represents 3 feet.
Let us assume that 24 feet represents k ft on the scale.
Then by RATIO OF PROPORTIONALITY:
[tex]\frac{1.16}{3} = \frac{24}{k} \implies k = \frac{24 \times 3}{1.16} \\= 62.06[/tex]
Hence, on the scale 24 feet represents 62.06 feet.
