Jimmy made a scale drawing of his house. The actual dimensions of his house are 50 feet by 100 feet. He used the scale 1 inch : 10 feet. What are the dimensions of Jimmy’s house in the drawing?

Explanation:

10 feet = 1 inch

50 feet = 5 inches

Do the same thing for the length.

If you don't under stand.

50/10 = 5

1/10 = x/50

10x = 50

x = 50/10

x = 5 inches

Then you do the same with the lenght.
