To solve this problem, we need to set up a proportion using the given scale and the real-life measurement of the picnic area.

The scale is 13 inches (on the drawing) for every 6 yards (in real life).

So, we can set up the proportion as follows:

13 inches/6 yards = X inches/42 yards

We can solve for X by cross-multiplying:

6 yards * X inches = 13 inches * 42 yards

Then, divide both sides by 6 yards to solve for X:

X = (13 inches * 42 yards) / 6 yards

After doing the math, we find that X = 91 inches.

So, the picnic area would be 91 inches wide in the drawing.
