Answer: To find the ratio of the dimensions of the actual room to that of the scale model, we can divide the dimensions of the actual room by the dimensions of the scale model.

The dimensions of the actual room are 15m by 9m by 12m, and the dimensions of the scale model are 5m by 3m by 4m.

Therefore, the ratio of the dimensions of the actual room to that of the scale model is:

length: 15m / 5m = 3 : 1

width: 9m / 3m = 3 : 1

height: 12m / 4m = 3 : 1

So, the ratio of the dimensions of the actual room to that of the scale model is 3:1 for all dimensions (length, width, and height)

The ratio of the dimensions of the scale model to that of the actual object is 1:16

so to find the length and width of the actual object, you can use this relation

length = scale model length * 16 = 2.416 = 38.4m

width = scale model width * 16 = 1.816 = 28.8m

So the length and width of the actual object are 38.4m and 28.8m respectively.
