Answer:

Explanation:

If one inch on the scale drawing represents 12 feet in real life, we can use the following dimensions to make a scale drawing of a building that is 75 feet by 80 feet:

Width of the scale drawing = (width of the building ÷ 12) inches

= (80 ÷ 12) inches

= 6.67 inches (rounded to two decimal places)

Length of the scale drawing = (length of the building ÷ 12) inches

= (75 ÷ 12) inches

= 6.25 inches (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the scale drawing of the building would be 6.67 inches wide by 6.25 inches long.
