Clarence made a scale drawing of a classroom. The scale in the drawing is 2 inches represents 9 feet. The actual length of the classroom is 36 feet. What is the length of the classroom on the scale drawing?
36 / 9 = 4
4 * 2 = 8
The length of the classroom on the scale drawing is 8 inches
it's 8

To find the length of the classroom on the scale drawing, you need to use the given scale and the actual length of the classroom.
First, let's set up a proportion:
2 inches / 9 feet = x inches / 36 feet
To find x (the length of the classroom on the scale drawing), we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
2 inches * 36 feet = 9 feet * x inches
72 inches * feet = 9x inches
Divide both sides by 9:
72 inches * feet / 9 = 9x inches / 9
8 inches = x inches
Therefore, the length of the classroom on the scale drawing is 8 inches.
