A conference will take place in a large hotel meeting room. The organizers of the conference have created a drawing for how to arrange the room. The scale indicates that 12 inch on the drawing corresponds to 12 feet in the actual room. In the scale drawing, the length of the room is 313 inches. What is the actual length of the room?

Answer:

And so if length of the room in the drawing is 313 inches then the true length of the room = 313 feet
