Mr. Curtis made the scale drawing of his math classroom shown below.



The actual classroom measures 32 feet by 20 feet. What length in feet does 1 inch in the drawing represent? Explain your answer.

1 inch= 8ft. The scale is 8:1 because 32/4 is 8 and 20/2.5 is 8. Then do 1 times 8 which is 8. (Sorry if this doesn’t make sense)
