The actual width, w, of the island is 22.5 inches if the width in the drawing is 2.5 inches.
How can we determine the actual width using a scale factor?
The actual width can be determined by multiplying the width with the scale factor.
Given that:
[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{1.5}{1}=\dfrac{x}{6}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{1.5}{1} \times 6=x}[/tex]
x = 9
If the width of the drawing is 2.5 inches, the actual width of the island is:
= scale factor × width of the drawing
= 9 × 2.5 inches
= 22.5 inches.
