Question 36 • Mathematical Models with Applications - MA4072 CR

The length of a field is 120 yards and its width is 60 yards. If 1 inch represents 25 yards, what would be the dimensions of the field drawn on a sheet of paper

Answer
A
1.7 inches by 3 inches
B
4.8 inches by 2.4 inches
C
3 inches by 3 inches
D
3 inches by 2 inches

Explanation

Use the scale to divide each actual dimension by 25 yards per inch. The length is 120 ÷ 25 = 4.8 inches, and the width is 60 ÷ 25 = 2.4 inches, so the field would be drawn as 4.8 inches by 2.4 inches.
