Question

The blueprint for the Moreno​'s living room has a scale of . The family wants to 2 inches= 3 feet use a scale of 1 inch =4 feet. What is the width of the living room on the new​ blueprint?

Answer 1

If I am understanding the question correctly, every 6 feet in real life will be equivalent to 1 inch "on paper", or in the blueprint. Using dimensional analysis, which is a methodology for converting from one unit to another, we have:

18 feet * 1 inch / 6 feet = 3 inches

On the other axis,

24 feet * 1 inch / 6 feet = 4 inches

Therefore, the blueprint for this 18x24 foot room, with a scale of 6 feet:1inch, should be 3x4 inches.
