Question

What is 160 feet by 360 feet and measures 4 inches by 9 inches

Answer 1

Given:

$160feet-by-360feet$

Another measure

$4inches-by-9inches$

Solution

$1ft=12inches$

Let us covert the given into inches

$\begin{gathered} 160feet=160\times12=1920inches \\ 360feet=360\times12=4320inches \end{gathered}$

Let us compare the given to the measures

$\begin{gathered} \frac{160ft-by-360ft}{4in-by-9in} \\ =\frac{1920in-by-4320in}{4in-by-9in} \\ =\frac{1920in}{4in}-by-\frac{4320in}{9in} \\ =480-by-480 \end{gathered}$

Hence, we can imply that one inch in the measure represent 480 in the given dimension
