Question

You are building a doghouse for Fido, your loyal poodle. The blueprint of the doghouse uses a scale of 1 : 14. The floor of the doghouse measures 2" x 2.5" on the blueprint. What are the dimensions of the floor of the doghouse in real life?

Answer 1

28 inches x 25 inches

Explanation:

Answer 2

28 in x 35 in

Explanation:

To know the real dimensions of the doghouse, we need to take the dimensions in the blueprint and rescale them using the scale of 1 : 14, which means that for each inch in the blueprint, there will be 14 inches in real life.

So, if the floor in the blueprint measures 2 in x 2.5 in, in real life, the floor will measure 2*14 in x 2.5*14 in, which is 28 in x 35 in.
