Final answer:

The original scale drawing question is missing necessary information to determine a scale factor or room dimensions. For scale drawings, you typically divide the actual size by the scale factor to obtain the model size. Unit conversions often follow standard ratios, such as 1 kilometer being equivalent to 1,000 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unfortunately, the question about John making a new scale drawing doesn't provide enough information to determine the scale factor, the size of the original room, or the size of the new room in the drawing. To find these values, we would need either the dimensions of the original room or the scale he's using for his new drawing. However, for questions related to scale drawings and scale factors, such as question 5 where Madeline's model boat uses a scale factor of 1/36, you would typically divide the actual length by the scale factor to find the model's length in inches. For example:



The actual length of the boat is 24 feet, which is 288 inches (since 1 foot = 12 inches).

Dividing by the scale factor of 1/36 gives us 288 inches / 36 = 8 inches for the model's length.



For questions like 15, converting kilometers to meters is straightforward because 1 kilometer equals 1,000 meters, so Samir running a 10-kilometer race means he ran 10,000 meters.
