Question

8. The bedroom of an apartment is 9 feet wide by 12 feet long. On a scale drawing of the apartment, the

bedroom is 3 inch wide by 4 inches long, and the kitchen is 2.5 inches wide by 1.5 inches long.
What is the actual width of the kitchen?
I’ll give 25 points

Answer 1

Using the dimensions of the bedroom 3 inches = 9 feet

9/3 = 3 so 1 inch = 3 feet.

Multiply the inches of the kitchen by 3 to get feet:

2.5 x 3 = 7.5 feet

1.5 x 3 = 4.5 feet

The width = 7.5 feet
