Question

PLEASE HELP URGENT On a scale model of a building, 1/4 inch represents 3/8 foot.

What length on the model represents 1 foot?

​ 3 3/2 ​ in.

​ 2/3 ​ in.

​ 1 1/1 ​ in.

​​ ​ 10 2/3 ​ in.

Answer 1

Explanation:

1/4 inch to 3/8 ft = x inches to 1 ft

(1/4) / (3/8) = x / 1

cross multiply because this is a proportion

3/8x = 1/4

x = 1/4 * 8/3

x = 8/12 which reduces to 2/3 inches <==
