Question

A game room has a floor that is 120 feet by 75 feet. A scale drawing of the floor on grid paper uses a scale of 1 cm: 5 feet.

What are the dimensions of the scale drawing?

Answer 1

24cm x 15cm

Explanation:

120/5 = 24 cm

as 24 cm x 5 = 120 feet.

We check 75 feet

75/5 = 15 cm

as 15 cm x 5 = 75 feet

So the answer is 24cm x 15cm
