Question

Ms. Tranquille is making a scale drawing of a famous building. In reality, the building is 108 meters tall. In her drawing, the building is
$4\frac{1}{2}$
inches tall. How wide should the scale drawing be if the actual width is 48 meters?

PLEASE HELP I WILL MARK YOU BRAINIEST​

Answer 1

Answer:
2 inches

Steps:
Take note.
Rw = real width
Rh = real height
Dw = drawing width
Dh = drawing height

(Rw/Rh) = (Dw/Dh)

Fill in what we know.
(48/108) = (Dw/ 4 1/2)
Solve for Dw.
(48 * 4 1/2) / 108 = Dw
216 / 108 = Dw
2 = Dw
