Answer:
The actual width of cut stones is 8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale drawing you are using to cut paving stones for a driveway shows a measurement 2 inches wide and 4.5 inches long.
Scale drawing length = 4.5 inches
Scale drawing breadth = 2 inches
Actual length = 18 inches
Let x be the actual width
So,[tex]\frac{4.5}{2}=\frac{18}{x}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{18 \times 2}{4.5}[/tex]
x=8
Hence the actual width of cut stones is 8 inches
