the scale from a square exercise mat in a gymnastic arena to a scale copy of the exercise mat is 8 m for every 2 in. The actual area of the exercise mat is 144m2. What are the dimensions of the mat on the scale copy?
The scale is 8m for every 2 in and the actual area is 144m2 so we need to covert that into inches. You divide 144 by 8 which = 18 and then multiply 18 x 2 which is equal to 36.
