Answer 2

The actual dimensions of the kitchen are
`12` feet by
`14` feet

Explanation:

Step 1

Find the scale of the drawing

`(0.8)/(4)(in)/(ft)=(1.4)/(7)(in)/(ft)=0.2(in)/(ft)`

Step 2

Find the actual dimensions of the kitchen

To obtain the actual dimensions divide the measurements on the scale drawing by
`0.2`

`2.4/0.2=12\ ft`

`2.8/0.2=14\ ft`
