Motel Scale F1Be8E

1. **State the problem:** We have a scale drawing where the scale is $$6 \text{ in.} : 30 \text{ yd}$$ and the east side length in the drawing is $$2 \text{ in.}$$. 2. **Understand the scale:** The scale means that $$6$$ inches on the drawing corresponds to $$30$$ yards in actual length. 3. **Find the scale factor:** To find the actual length corresponding to $$1$$ inch on the drawing, divide the actual length by the drawing length: $$\text{Scale factor} = \frac{30 \text{ yd}}{6 \text{ in.}} = 5 \text{ yd/in.}$$ 4. **Calculate the actual length of the east side:** Multiply the drawing length by the scale factor: $$\text{Actual length} = 2 \text{ in.} \times 5 \text{ yd/in.} = 10 \text{ yd}$$ 5. **Answer the question about the multiplier:** The number you multiply each length in the scale drawing by to find the actual length is $$5$$. **Final answers:** - Actual length of east side: $$10 \text{ yd}$$ - Multiplier for scale: $$5$$
