A square playground has sides that each measure 120 feet in length. On a scale drawing, 1/4 inch represents 5 feet on the playground. How long is a side of this playground on the scale drawing?

6 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Per the above, we were given that;

1/4 inch = 5 feet

But,

X inch = 120 feet

We would represent the above as a ratio

1/4 inch / X inch = 5 feet / 120 feet

1/4 inch / X inch = 1 feet / 24 feet

When we cross multiply, we'll have

1/4 inch × 24 feet = X inch × 1 feet

X = 6 inches

-1   1/6.   you dont subtract the denominators
