Question

Matthew used the scale below to make a scale drawing of a kite he wants to build. 1/8 on the drawing represents 2 inches.

If Matthew’s drawing is 8 inches long, what should be the length in inches of the kite he wants to build?

Answer 1

Answer:  128 inches of the kite.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given scale : $\frac{1}{8}$ inches in drawing = 2 inches of kite.

if e multiply 8 on the both sides of the equation, we get

Therefore, 1 inch in drawing= $8\times2=16\ inches$ of kite.

If Matthew’s drawing is 8 inches long, then the length in inches of the kite he wants to build=$8\times16=128\ inches$
