Question

The dining room table in Logan’s dollhouse is a replica of the dining room table in the actual house . The replica is 4 7/8 in. Long how long is the table in the actual house

Answer 1

6ft 6 in

Explanation:

Write a proportion that uses the scale factor 1/16. The numerator corresponds to the dollhouse, and the denominator corresponds to the actual house. So 4 7/8 goes in the numerator, and the variable goes in the denominator.

1/16=478xx=16⋅478x=78

There are 12 in. in a foot, so 78 in. equals 6 ft 6 in.

Answer 2

To find the length of the actual table, multiply the replica's length by the scale factor:
4 7/8 x 1/16 = ___ ↓
39/8 x 1/16 = 39/128.
