Juanita says that a scale of 1 in. : 0.4 ft is equivalent to the ratio 6 in. : 2.4 ft. Do you agree? Explain why or why not.

Agree

Explanation:

The given scale is:

1 in : 0.4 ft

We want to get the equivalent ft for 6 in, therefore all we have to do is cross multiplication as follows:

1 in : 0.4 ft

6 in : ?

equivalent ft = (6*0.4) / (1) = 2.4 ft

This means that:

6 in : 2.4 ft is equivalent to the given scale
