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?

1 answer

Since one yard is equal to 36 inches, the width of the actual park is 60 yards * 36 inches/yard = <<60*36=2160>>2160 inches.
The scale of the drawing is 36 inches / 2160 inches = 1/60. Answer: \boxed{\frac{1}{60}}.
