its 1 in : 12 ft

Answer 2

Option C. 12 ft : 1 in.

Explanation:

A scale of drawing shows a two bedroom apartment. On the drawing, the master bedroom is 0.75 in.× 1 in.

Actual measurements of the room are 9 ft × 12 ft.

We have to calculate the scale of drawing.

To find the scale we will use a formula = Actual size ÷ size on the drawing

Scale = 9 ÷ 0.75 =
`(9)/(0.75)=(12)/(1)` = 12 feet : 1 in

Option C. 12 ft : 1 in. is the answer.
