We are given that the scale of a drawing of a school's floor is 6inch: 100feet. To find the corresponding length of the scale drawing, we will create a proportion.
6/100=length in drawing/actual lengthSince we know that the actual length is 175 feet, we will substitute this value into the proportion. Let x represent the length in the drawing.
6/100=x/175
Now we will solve the above proportion for x using cross multiplication.
