8. Rita looks at the floor plan of a room that was drawn with scale factor 1 inch equals 4 feet. She multiplied the perimeter of the drawing by four and ordered that many feet of molding. She multiplied the area of the drawing by four and ordered that many square feet of carpeting. When the orders arrived, Rita had enough molding, but the carpet covered only of the room. Explain the error.
