Question

Hector has a floor plan showing his new house. On the floor plan, his bedroom is 3 inches wide and 312 inches long. The scale of the floor plan is 14 inch = 1 foot. What is the actual length of Hector’s room?

A)13 feet
B)14 feet
C)15 feet
D)16 feet

Answer 1

The problem simply asks us to convert the units from inches to foot. To do this, we use the conversion factor given above which is 1 foot = 1/4 inch. However, I think the given values should be as follows:

Length = 3 1/2 inches ( 1 ft / 1/4 inch ) = 14 feet

Hope this answers the question.
