Answer 1

To find the actual width of the banner, you can use the scale provided, which is 1 inch equals 3 feet.

If the width of the banner in the scale drawing is 4 inches, you can calculate the actual width as follows:

\[
\text{Actual Width} = \text{Scale Width} \times \text{Scale Factor}
\]
\[
\text{Actual Width} = 4 \, \text{inches} \times 3 \, \text{feet/inch} = 12 \, \text{feet}
\]

Therefore, the actual width of the banner is **12 feet**.
