Answer:
Hence, the missing term is:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a scale in drawing by;
[tex]3\ in.=20\ ft.[/tex]
Now we are asked to find the missing term in the given conversion.
Let the missing term be 'x'.
Hence, we have to calculate the value of 'x'.
i.e. we are given:
[tex]x\ in.=26\dfrac{2}{3}\ ft.[/tex]
which is equal to:
[tex]x\ in.=\dfrac{80}{3}\ ft.[/tex]
Since,
[tex]3\ in.=20\ ft.[/tex]
This means that:
[tex]1\ ft.=\dfrac{3}{20}\ in.[/tex]
Hence,
[tex]\dfrac{80}{3}\ ft.=\dfrac{3}{20}\times \dfrac{80}{3}\ in.\\\\\dfrac{80}{3}\ ft.=4\ in.[/tex]
Hence, the value of the x is:
4
