Alexis scale drawing represents the longest side of the storage bin as 2 3/4 inches. what is the actual length, in feet, of the longest side of the storage bin?

The correct answer is C,

5 1/2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Alexis' scale drawing represents the longest side of the storage bin as 2 3/4 inches. Converting to improper fraction, it becomes 11/4 inches. This is also 2.75 inches.

The scale used is 1/2 inch = 1 feet. This means that a length of 1 feet of the longest side of the actual storage bin is 1/2 inch on the drawing.

Let the actual length, in feet of the longest side of the storage bin be x feet. Therefore

If 0.5 inch = 1 feet

2.75 inch = x

0.5x = 2.75 × 1

x = 2.75/0.5 = 5.5 feet
