Question

The scale used for a model of a kitchen is 1/4 in. = 1.5 ft. In the model,

the kitchen measures 2.5 in. by 3 in. What are the actual dimensions of
the kitchen?

Answer 1

15ft by 18ft

Explanation:

Start with 2.5 divided by .25

That equals 10

10 times 1.5 ,because we know it takes ten .25inches to equal 2.5 and 2.5, is the size of one of the sides.

10 time 1.5 is 15ft

3 divided by .25 is 12

using the same logic and math as stated above we know 3 x .25 equals 12 by 12 quarter inches to make 3 inches

12 x 1.5 Same logic as before

12 x 1.5 equals 18ft

The kitchen is 15ft by 18ft
