Question

An architect makes a blueprint with a scale of one fourth inch equals 2 ft. Which will be the dimensions of the drawing of a warehouse room measuring 60 ft by 100 ft?

Answer 1

1/4 inch = 2 ft

so 60 ft would be (60/2 * 1/4) = 30 * 1/4 = 30/4 = 7.5 inches
and 100 ft would be (100/2 * 1/4) = 50 * 1/4 = 50/4 = 12.5 inches

dimensions are : 7.5 in. by 12.5 in. <==
