Question

The measurement of the “ridge” of your new house on blueprints is 24 inches. If the scale is 1/4 = 1ft how long is the wall in real life

Answer 1

In real the wall will be: 96 ft

Explanation:

Given that the scale is

• 1/4 = 1ft

It means 1 inch will represent 4 ft.

so

24 inches = 24 × 4ft ∵ 1 inch = 4ft

= 96 ft

Therefore, in real the wall will be: 96 ft
