Answer 2

Option A. is the answer.

Explanation:

Charlie is making a scale model of his kitchen.

The kitchen measures 12 feet by 11 feet.

We can use the unitary method to get the scale measures.

Since his scale is 3 feet = 2 inches.

So 1 feet =
`(2)/(3)` inches

and 12 feet =
`((2)(12))/(3) = 8` inches

Similarly 11 feet =
`((11)(2))/(3)=7.3` inches

Therefore, scale measures of the kitchen will be = 8 in by 7.3 in

Option A. is the correct answer.
