On a scale drawing of a​ fence, 3.75 inches represent 24 feet. What is the actual length of a second fence that is 2.8 inches in the​ drawing?

Answer 1

The actual length of the fence is 215 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of fence in drawing = 3.75 inches

Actual length of the fence = 24 ft

= 288 inches

Scale factor = 288/3.75

= 76.8

Length of fence in drawing = 2.8 inches

Actual length = 2.8 x 76.8

= 215 inches

The actual length of the fence is 215 inches
