The length of the school bus is 45 feet.
Given, School bus has a scale of 1/2 inch to 5 feet.
Length of the school bus is 4 1/2 inches on the scale drawing.
Actual length of the bus = ?
Given scale = 1/2 inch = 5 feet
⇒ 1 inch = 1/2 inch ₊ 1/2 inch
⇒ 1 inch = 5 feet ₊ 5 feet
⇒ 1 inch = 10 feet
Length of school bus = 4 1/2 inches = 4.5 inches.
Actual length:
length of school bus = length in inches × length in feet
4.5 inches = (4.5 × 10) feet
4.5 inches = 45 feet.
Hence we get the actual length of the school bus as 45 feet.
