Answer:
The combined length of the truck and trailer in the new scale drawing is 15 in
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first drawing the combined length of the truck and the trailer is 5 in.
If the scale is 1 inch equals 15 feet then the length is:
[tex]5\ in *\frac{15\ ft}{1\ in} = 75\ ft[/tex].
If the actual length is 75 feet and we want to make a drawing with a scale of 1 inch = 5 feet then the dimensions of the drawing will be:
[tex]75\ ft * \frac{1\ in}{5\ ft} = 15\ inches[/tex]
The length of the truck plus the trailer in the new drawing will be 15 inches
