Question

Yuron is sketching a scale drawing of a famous painting. The painting is 54 inches wide and 72 inches long. He used a scale factor of 2/3 to make his sketch. How many inches wide is Yuron’s sketch?

Answer 1

For this case what you must do is multiply the original width by the scale factor to obtain the width used by Yuron.
 We have then:
 w = (54) * (2/3)
 w = 36 inches
 Answer:
 Yuron's sketch is 36 inches wide.

Answer 2

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

he painted a 54in. by 72in. painting and used the scale factor of 2/3

wide: 54(2/3)=36

long: 72(2/3)=48

and the question was: How many inches wide is Yuron’s sketch?

so the answer will be

36 inches wide

Hope this helps:)
