Q. Marco measured a game room and made a scale drawing. The air hockey table is 55 inches long in the drawing. The actual air hockey table is 1010 feet long. What scale did Marco use for the drawing?\newline11 inch : ___\_\_\_ feet
  1. Identify Lengths: Step 11: Identify the lengths given in the drawing and in real life.\newlineDrawing length of air hockey table: 55 inches\newlineActual length of air hockey table: 1010 feet
  2. Convert Units: Step 22: Convert the actual length from feet to inches to match the units in the drawing.\newline11 foot =12= 12 inches, so 1010 feet =10×12=120= 10 \times 12 = 120 inches.
  3. Calculate Scale: Step 33: Calculate the scale by dividing the actual size in inches by the drawing size in inches. Scale=120 inches5 inches=24\text{Scale} = \frac{120 \text{ inches}}{5 \text{ inches}} = 24
  4. Convert Scale: Step 44: Convert the scale to represent 11 inch on the drawing to feet in real life.\newlineSince 2424 inches represent the actual size, and 11 foot = 1212 inches, then 2424 inches = 24/12=224 / 12 = 2 feet.
