Question

The Community Recreation Center is developing plans for a new sports facility. Community members can submit suggestions for the new facility, along with basic scale drawings of their ideas. Elena wants to include a new 15- by 30-meter basketball court in the athletic center. She is submitting a scale drawing on an 8.5- by 11-inch sheet of paper. Which scale should Elena use to create as large a drawing as possible on the paper?

Answer 1

multiply the scale times the meters to see if it fits on the paper, and which fills most paper.

My chart below isn't spacing right. Should be a row of headings with 5 columns. 5/16 is the largest that fits the paper.
