Emma is designing a playground for her neighborhood
park. Her drawing has a scale of 1 cm: 3 feet. The length
of her drawing is 15 cm. What will be the actual lenght of
the playground in feet?

Respuesta :

15x3=45 feet

Answer: 45 feet

Answer:

45 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

if 1 cm = 3 ft, we can scale up the drawing from there.

We are multiplying each cm by 3, and considering that length to be 3 feet.

If we had 2 cm, (multiply both by 3) we would have 6 feet.

So, if we had 15 cm, we also need to convert this scale length into actual length. We do this by multiplying

15 × 3 = 45

So, we know that the actual length of the playground in feet is 45 feet.
