Think About the Process The scale for the drawing of a rectangular
playing field is 2 inches = 3 feet. Find an equation you can use to find the
dimensions of the actual field. What are the actual dimensions?
width
6 in.
length
12 in
Find an equation you can use to find the dimensions of the actual field.
Use the equation y= x, where x is a dimension of the scale drawing (in inches) and y is the
corresponding dimension of the actual field (in feet).

y=x/2*3

Or, in LaTex, $y = \frac {x}{2} \cdot 3$

If you do this the regular way, you can see that there are three groups of 2 inches in the widths and six groups of 2 inches in the length(dividing by 2 inches and taking the unit out). Multiplying the number of groups by 3 feet, you get 9 feet as the width and 18 feet as the length, which makes sense since the drawing was at a 1:2 ratio for width to length.

But if you make this into an equation, consider the steps;

1) Divide by 2 (inches)

2) Multiply by 3 (feet)

And that's about it. So your equation would be;

y=x/2*3

the proximity of water was an advantage to western europe and its culture was able to flourish as a result. trade and travel by sea were easier and safer in historical times.

1. there are no mountains to protect it from the sea

2. and its has wet cool summers and wet, mild winters.
