Question 46 • Mathematical Models with Applications - MA4072 CR

A patio door is 72 inches wide. If a drawing of the door is made with a scale of 2 in. = 3 ft, what is the width of the door on the drawing? (Hint: 12 inches = 1 foot).

Answer
A
4 in.
B
5.5 in.
C
9 in.
D
48 in.

Explanation

Convert 72 inches to feet: 72 ÷ 12 = 6 feet. At 2 inches on the drawing for every 3 feet in real life, 6 feet is represented by (6 ÷ 3) × 2 = 4 inches, so the correct choice is 4 in.
