Given the dimensions of a container:
25ft x 50ft
Determine the dimensions of the container if it is drawn using the scale 1 inch: 5ft
Solution:
In order to determine the dimension of the container using the scale 1 inch:5ft, we simply divide the dimensions, by 5 since both dimensions are factorable by 5.
25/ 5 = 5
50 = 5 = 10
Therefore the dimensions of the container can be drawn in a scale of 5in x 10in.
