Bernard drew a scale drawing of a neighborhood park. He used the scale 1 inch : 2 yards. A soccer field in the park is 35 inches wide in the drawing. How wide is the actual field?
35 : w = 1 : 2
obviously w = 70
Thxs soooo muuuuccchhhh
poop poop
Well, if the scale is 1 inch : 2 yards, then we can convert the 35 inches to yards. You might need to find a looong tape measure for this one! Just kidding, here's the calculation:
Since 1 yard is equal to 36 inches, we can divide 35 inches by 36 to get the measurement in yards.
35 inches รท 36 inches/yard = 0.9722 yards
So, the actual width of the soccer field is approximately 0.9722 yards. Let's just round it up to 1 yard, shall we? No need to be pedantic about those extra decimal places, clown'cerned?
To find the actual width of the soccer field, we need to use the given scale, which is 1 inch : 2 yards. We know that the width of the soccer field in the drawing is 35 inches.
To find the actual width, we can set up a proportion:
1 inch / 2 yards = 35 inches / x yards
Cross-multiplying, we get:
1 inch * x yards = 2 yards * 35 inches
Simplifying, we have:
x yards = (2 yards * 35 inches) / 1 inch
x yards = 70 yards
Therefore, the actual width of the soccer field is 70 yards.
