The length of the rectangle in Spencer's new scale drawing can be found by multiplying the original length by the scale factor. The scale factor is the ratio of the new width to the original width.
Since the new width is 1.5 inches and the original width is labeled in inches, we have the scale factor as:
Scale factor = New width / Original width = 1.5 / original width
Let's assume the original width is x inches. Then, the scale factor is:
1.5 / x
Given that the original width is not 1.5 inches, we can't determine the length in decimal form unless we know the value of the original width in inches.
In general, to find the length in Spencer's new scale drawing, you can use the formula:
New length = Scale factor * Original length
But without knowing the original width, we cannot determine the new length in decimal form.
Spencer draws a rectangle to represent the size of the city block where he lives. The rectangle is labeled in inches. Spencer decides he wants to make a smaller scale drawing of the rectangle in which the width is just 1.5 inches long. What will be the length of the rectangle in Spencer's new scale drawing? Write your answer in decimal form. (1 point) its not 1.5

Its not 1.5.
Apologies for the misunderstanding. If the width in Spencer's new scale drawing is not 1.5 inches, we need the actual measurement of the new width to calculate the length in the new scale drawing. Please provide the correct width of the smaller scale drawing so that we can help you determine the length.
