Rihanna planned a rectangular courtyard for a park and made a scale drawing using inches as the unit of measurement. She originally planned for the length of the actual courtyard to be 54 feet, but she decided to change it to 72 feet. If the length of the courtyard is 18 inches in her scale drawing, which statement about the change of scale is true?

    I think it changed from 36x to 48x

    Depending on how you look at it, it could have changed from 3x to 4x or 36x to 48x.

    If they said it was 18 feet instead of 18 inches, it would be 3x or 4x, but they had it as inches.

    18 inches = 1.5 feet

    72/1.5 = 48

    54/1.5 = 36

    So originally, it would have been a scale of 1 in : 36in, but it changed to 1 in : 48 in

    Sorry if this was confusing.
