Question

Melissa drew a scale drawing of a city. A neighborhood park is 36 inches wide in the drawing. The actual park is 60 yards wide. What is the scale of the drawing?
GPT 3.5
We want to find the ratio of the width of the drawing to the actual width.

Since 1 yard is equal to 36 inches, the actual width of the park is 60 yards * 36 inches/yard = 2160 inches.

The ratio of the width of the drawing to the actual width is 36 inches / 2160 inches = 1/60.

Therefore, the scale of the drawing is 1:60.
