n social studies class, Cole is making a scale drawing of a flag. The flag measures 24 inches high by 36 inches wide, having three vertical stripes each 12 inches wide. Which drawing shows a correct model of this flag
so 24 inches high--------------> 24*0.083333=2 ft 36 inches wide--------------> 36*0.083333=3 ft
we will analyze each drawing drawing a) scale 1/4 in/ 1 ft ----------> (1/4)/1=1/4 for a high of 2 ft-------------> 2*(1/4)=0.5 in for a wide of 3 ft-------------> 3*(1/4)=0.75 in drawing a) is not solution
drawing b) scale 1/2 in/ 1 ft ----------> (1/2)/1=1/2 for a high of 2 ft-------------> 2*(1/2)=1 in for a wide of 3 ft-------------> 3*(1/2)=1.5 in drawing b) is not solution
drawing c) scale 1/2 in/ 1 ft ----------> (1/2)/1=1/2 for a high of 2 ft-------------> 2*(1/2)=1 in for a wide of 3 ft-------------> 3*(1/2)=1.5 in drawing c) is not solution
drawing d) scale 1 in/ 1 ft ----------> (1)/1=1 for a high of 2 ft-------------> 2*(1)=2 in for a wide of 3 ft-------------> 3*(1)=3 in drawing d) is a solution
the answer is The correct model of the flag is the drawing D
