Question

Floorplans are also drawn to scale with ratios. If a floorplan is drawn so that 1 inch equals 9 feet, how long is the wall going to be in a real house?

Answer 1

To find the actual length of a wall from a floorplan with a scale of 1 inch equals 9 feet, measure the wall in inches on the floorplan and multiply by 9 to get the length in feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how long a wall will be in a real house based on a floorplan with a scale of 1 inch equals 9 feet, you would use the following steps:

1. Measure the length of the wall on the floorplan using a ruler to get the measurement in inches.
2. Write the unit scale as a ratio, which is 1 inch / 9 feet in this case.
3. Convert the measured length from the floorplan into the actual length by multiplying the floorplan measurement (in inches) by the scale factor. For instance, if the floorplan shows a wall that is 2 inches long, the actual wall length would be 2 inches x 9 feet/inch = 18 feet.

Remember to convert feet to inches if you need the answer in inches, since there are 12 inches in a foot.
