Question

18 Tony made a scale drawing of his living room. The scale drawing has a length of 3 inches and a width of 5 inches. If the living room has an actual length of 12 feet, which equation could be used to determine w, the width of the living room? F 60w = 3 G 3w = 60 H 5w = 36 J 12w = 15 ords show that 25% of

Answer 1

The drawing that tony has made is on the scale, which means that the ratio of sides should be the same.

$\frac{L_1}{W_1}=\frac{L_2}{W_2}\rightarrow\frac{3}{5}=\frac{12}{W_2}\rightarrow3W_2=60$

Therefore option (G) is the equation to figure out the actual width of the living room.
