A gym is 100 feet long and 90 feet wide. On a scale drawing, the gym is 8 inches long. What is the width of the gym?

Let the width be x

Given, Actual length = 100 ft = 1200 inches

Actual width = 90 ft = 1080 inches

We can say that the values are in proportion to each other. So,

Thus, on the scale drawing the width of the gym is 7.2 inches.

Hope this helps :)

where are the choices?

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
