Jack is planning to build a shed. He wants the shed to be 10 feet wide with 3.5 feet on either side of the door. The figure shows what he has in mind. Jack wants to start with a scale
drawing. The scale will be 0.25 Inches = 1 foot. How wide should jack make the door of his shed in his drawing?
3.5 ft.
A) 0.75 inches
B) 3 inches
C) 1 Inch
D) 0.25 inches
35 f

Answer 1

if it is 10 ft long with 3.5 on each side
thats 3.5+3.5= 7
10-7= 3 giving the door 3ft of space

3*.25 is .75
.25+.25+.25

so the answer is 0.75 inches

Answer 2

A because 3.5 plus 3.5 is 7 so 10 - 7 =3feet
3feet Menes 3x 0.25inches which is 0.75 inches.
