Question

TWENTY POINTS.

Suppose that one doll house uses the 1 inch scale, meaning that 1 inch on the doll house corresponds to 1/2 foot for life-sized objects. If the doll house is 108 inches wide, what is the width of the full-sized house that it's modeled after?
In inches and feet

Answer 1

Answer: 54 feet or 648 inches.

Explanation:

1. You know that 1 inch on the doll house corresponds to 1/2 foot for life-sized objects. Therefore, you can calculate the width of the full-sized house that it's modeled after, as following:

`width=(108in*1/2ft)/(1in)\\width=54ft`

2. Then, the width in feet is: 54 feet.

3. And the width in inches is:

(Keeping on mind that 1 feet=12 inches)

`(54ft*12in)/(1ft)=648in`
