Q. Eric made a scale drawing of the auditorium. The stage, which is \(35\) feet wide in real life, is \(5\) inches wide in the drawing. What is the scale of the drawing? \(1\) inch : _____\_\_\_\_\_ feet
  1. Calculate Scale: Real life width of stage = 3535 feet, Drawing width of stage = 55 inches.\newlineCalculate the scale by dividing the real life size by the drawing size.\newlineScale = 35 feet5 inches\frac{35 \text{ feet}}{5 \text{ inches}}.
  2. Simplify Scale: Simplify the scale by dividing both numbers by 55.\newlineScale = 355\frac{35}{5} feet / 55\frac{5}{5} inches.\newlineScale = 77 feet / 11 inch.
  3. Write Final Scale: Write the scale in the format requested: 11 inch : ____ feet. Scale = 11 inch : 77 feet.
