Question

Answer 1

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given

`Scale\ length = 8ft`

Required

Determine the scale of the drawing

The question is incomplete, as the actual width of the kitchen is not given. The general explanation, however, is as follows:

The scale of a drawing is represented as:

`Scale = Scale\ Measurement : Actual\ Measurement`

This gives:

`Scale = 8ft : Actual`

Assume the actual length of the kitchen is 24ft.

The equation becomes:

`Scale = 8ft : 24ft`

Divide by 8ft

`Scale = 8ft/8ft : 24ft/8ft`

`Scale = 1 : 3`
