To find the width of the field in the drawing, we can set up a proportion. Let's let x be the width of the field in the drawing.
We can set up the proportion:
1 inch / 2 yards = x inches / 52 yards
Cross-multiplying, we have:
2 yards * x inches = 1 inch * 52 yards
2x = 52
Dividing both sides by 2, we find:
x = 26
Therefore, the width of the field in the drawing is 26 inches.
