Question 7 • FL-1205040-M/J Grade 7 Mathematics A -GF

Brianna went on a trip to the art museum and sketched a scale drawing of a rectangular wall mural. She used a scale factor of 0.2. The sketch was 12 inches wide and 18 inches long. What was the length of the mural?

Answer
A
3.6 inches
B
18.2 inches
C
60 inches
D
90 inches

Explanation

A scale factor of 0.2 means each sketch dimension is 0.2 times the corresponding mural dimension. The sketch is 18 inches long, so the mural’s length is 18 ÷ 0.2 = 90 inches. Therefore, the mural was 90 inches long.
