Question

In a sketch, a fountain is drawn 1/4 yard tall. The actual fountain will be 68 times as tall. How tall will the fountain be?

Answer 1

The answer is 17 yards.

So, the drawn length (l1) is 1/4 yard:
l1 = 1/4 yards

The actual fountain's length (l2) is 68 times l1:
l2 = 68 * l1

l2 = 68 * 1/4 yards
l2 = 17 yards
