Question 7 • Mathematical Models with Applications - MA4072 CR

The length of a field is 100 yards and its width is 75 yards. If 1 inch represents 25 yards, what would be the dimensions of the field drawn on a sheet of paper?

Answer
A
4 inches by 2 inches
B
4 inches by 3 inches
C
3 inches by 3 inches
D
3 inches by 2 inches

Explanation

At a scale of 1 inch for every 25 yards, divide each field dimension by 25. The length is 100 ÷ 25 = 4 inches, and the width is 75 ÷ 25 = 3 inches, so the drawing measures 4 inches by 3 inches.
