Answer:
228 inches long is the field in the drawing.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Chad measured a neighborhood park and made a scale drawing. He used the scale 12 inches : 5 yards. If the actual length of a soccer field in the park is 95 yards.
To find : How long is the field in the drawing?
Solution :
Let the field length be 'x' inches.
He used the scale 12 inches : 5 yards.
The actual length of a soccer field in the park is 95 yards.
According to question,
[tex]\frac{12\text{ inches }}{5\text{ yards }}=\frac{x\text{ inches }}{95\text{ yards }}[/tex]
Solve by cross multiply,
[tex]x=\frac{12\times 95}{5}[/tex]
[tex]x=12\times 19[/tex]
[tex]x=228[/tex]
Therefore, 228 inches long is the field in the drawing.
