To find the width of the yard in the drawing, we can set up a proportion using the given scale:
7 inches / 4 feet = x inches / 48 feet
Cross multiplying, we get:
7 inches * 48 feet = 4 feet * x inches
336 inches = 4x inches
Dividing both sides by 4:
336 inches / 4 = x inches
84 inches = x inches
Therefore, the width of the yard in the drawing is 84 inches.
