1 answer

To find how many times bigger the billboard is than the drawing, we can divide the width of the billboard by the width of the drawing.

Billboard width / Drawing width = 32.8 ft / 0.59 ft

Dividing these two values, we get:

32.8 / 0.59 = 55.59

Therefore, the billboard is 55.59 times bigger than the drawing.

Answer: a. 55.59 times
