Question

Ms.Lopez has created a floor plan of a dollhouse. The area of the entire dollhouse is 576 square inches

Answer 1

(a)Area of the bedroom=96 square inches

(b)Area of the living room =144 square inches

(c)Area of the dollhouse that is not of the bedroom or living room =336 square inches.

Explanation:

The area of the bedroom is 1/6 the area of the entire dollhouse

The area of the living room is 3/2 times the area of the bedroom.

The area of the entire dollhouse is 576 square inches

Let the area of bedroom=b

Let the area of living room=l

(a) The area of the bedroom is 1/6 the area of the entire dollhouse

`b=(1)/(6)X576=96` square inches

(b)The area, in square inches, of the living room

The area of the living room is 3/2 times the area of the bedroom

l=
`(3)/(2)X96=144` square inches

(c)The total area of the house =576 square inches

Area of the bedroom=96 square inches

Area of the living room =144 square inches

Area of the dollhouse that is not of the bedroom or living room

=576-(96+144)=576-240=336 square inches.

The area of the living room is 3/2 times the area of the bedroom

This is gotten by subtracting the area of the bedroom and living room from the total area of the house.
