Question

The area of a square floor on a scale drawing is 25 square centimeters, and the scale drawing is 1 centimeter:6 ft. What is the area of the actual floor? What is the ratio of the area in the drawing to the actual area?

Answer 1

Answer:900 and 36

Explanation:

Answer 2

150 ft. and the ratio is 1/6

Explanation:

So, because the scale drawing is in centimeters you have to change it into feet. 1 centimeter equals 6 feet, so you multiply 25 by 6. To find the ratio just make a fraction of 25/150 to get 1/6. So the scale drawing is 1/6 of the real floor.
