To find the width of the yard in the drawing, we need to use the given scale of 7 inches : 4 feet. We can set up a proportion to solve for the width of the yard in the drawing:
7 inches / 4 feet = x inches / 48 feet
Cross multiplying gives us:
7 inches * 48 feet = x inches * 4 feet
336 inches = 4x
Dividing both sides by 4:
84 inches = x
Therefore, the width of the yard in the drawing is 84 inches.
