Question

Sarah is making a scale drawing of a painting that is 48 in. wide by 120 in. high. Her paper is 12 in. wide by 24 in. tall. She decides to use the scale 1 in. = 4 in. Is this a reasonable scale?

Answer 1

the actual measurements
width = 48 in height = 120
scale used 1 in. = 4 in.
measurements of her paper
width = 12 height 24
the maximum width that paper can represent = 12 x 4 in.
the maximum height that paper can represent = 24 x 4in

if those 2 values r equal or greater than the measurements ( 48 , 120)...

then it's a reasonable scale..

can u do it from here ?
