answer) *

Answer:

24.88

Step-by-step explanation:

If the scale of the drawing is 1:30, it means that the vehicle drawing is 30 times smaller than the actual vehicle.

  • Vehicle Length / 30 =  Drawing Length

With the above information in mind, we can calculate the length of the vehicle in inches:

  • Vehicle Length / 30 =  9.95 in
  • Vehicle Length = 30 * 9.95 in
  • Vehicle Length = 298.5 in

Finally we convert inches to feet(dividing inches by 12):

  • 298.5 / 12 = 24.875 feet
