A model of a house is 6 inch wide and 8 inches long. If the actual house is 20 yards long, how wide is the actual house?
A) 2.4 yd
B) 4.8 yd
C) 15 yd
D) 26 yd
We can create a ratio of length to width. The length of the model is 8, while the width is 6. This is a 4:3 ratio of length to width. We can input this into the actual length, 4(5):3(5) = 20:15. Therefore, the actual width is 15 yd
