Question

Bernard drew a scale drawing of a campsite. The scale of the drawing was 1 inch : 5 feet. In the drawing, the tent is 3 inches long. What is the length of the actual tent?
feet

Answer 1

I dont know how to do this question

Answer 2

each inch represents 5 feet
so 3 inches means 3*5 = 15 feet

or, as a proportion, since the feet:inches ratio is constant,
x/3 = 5/1
