Question

Eric is making a scale drawing of the ground floor of his house. If the scale is 2 in = 5 ft, what number of inches will he use for a length of 55 ft?

Is It 22 in. ?

Answer 1

yes, set up a ratio
2/x = 5/55
cross multiply
2(55) = 5(x)
110 = 5(x)
divide both sides by 5
22 = x

as you can see, 22in. is correct
