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?

5/16 in. = 1 m

C.

1/4 in. = 1 m

D.

3/8 in. = 1 m

Answer 1

The Community Center is 15 by 30 meters. The ratio is 15:30 which equals 1:2 or 1/2. It seems that the most accurate representation would be 1/2 in. = 1 m.
