Question

The distance from home plate to left field in a model of a baseball stadium measures 16.4 in. The scale of the model to the actual stadium is 1:232. What is the distance from home plate to left field in the actual stadium to the nearest foot?

Answer 1

Answer:

317

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio is 1:232, multiply 232 by 16.4:

$232*16.4=d$

$d=3804.8 in$

Divide by 12 to find the feet

$3804.8$÷$12=d$

$d=317.066$

Round to the nearest foot

$d=317$
