Question

In a diagram of a landscape plan, the scale is 1 cm=10 ft. In the diagram, the trees are 3.1 centimeters apart. How far apart should the actual trees be planted?

Answer 1

it should be planted 31 ft apart.

Answer 2

Answer:

$31\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale is equal to

$\frac{1}{10}\frac{cm}{ft}$

so

by proportion

Find how far apart should the actual trees be planted, if the trees are $3.1\ cm$ apart in the plan

$\frac{1}{10}\frac{cm}{ft}=\frac{3.1}{x}\frac{cm}{ft}\\ \\x=10*3.1\\ \\x=31\ ft$
