to 1 in. The dimensions of the deck are 28 ft by 17.5 ft. What are the dimensions of the deck in the
drawing? Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

The width is 2.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ratio is 7 ft to 1 in

Now we will have 17.5 to x in

x * 7 = 17.5 * 1

7x = 17.5

x = 17.5/7

x = 2.5 inches
