The scale for the drawing of a rectangular playing field is 2 inches = 5 feet. Write an equation you can use to find the dimensions of the actual field, where x is a dimension of the scale drawing (in inches) and y is the corresponding dimension of the actual field (in feet)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Scale

2 inches : 5 feet

Actual dimensions

Let x be the dimension of the scale drawing (in inches) and y, the corresponding dimension of the actual field (in feet).

Scaled dimension = scale * actual dimension

Actual dimension, x = y * 5 ft/2 in

2 * x = 5 * y

Equation:

2x = 5y
