Answer 1

Given:

Dimensions of building = 740 ft by 800ft

1 inch represents 8 ft

Find-:

Dimension of building in inch.

Explanation:-

1 inch represents 8 feet

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ inch = }8\text{ ft} \\ \\ 1\text{ }ft\text{ }=(1)/(8)\text{ inch} \end{gathered}`

Dimension is 740 ft by 800 ft

length is 740 ft so,

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ }ft\text{ }=(1)/(8)\text{ inch} \\ \\ 1*740\text{ }ft\text{ }=(1)/(8)*740\text{ inch} \\ \\ 740\text{ }ft\text{ }=(740)/(8)\text{ inch} \\ \\ 740\text{ }ft\text{ }=92.5\text{ inch} \end{gathered}`

The length is 92.5 inch

The breadth of thebuilding is 800 fts o,

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ }ft\text{ }=(1)/(8)\text{ inch} \\ \\ 1*800\text{ }ft\text{ }=(1)/(8)*800\text{ inch} \\ \\ 800\text{ }ft\text{ }=(800)/(8)\text{ inch} \\ \\ 800\text{ }ft=100\text{ inch} \end{gathered}`

The breadth is 100 inch.
