The following blueprint of a kitchen has dimensions of 8 inches by 8 inches. The island has been highlighted in red.

The island's actual dimensions are feet by feet. If the scale of the blueprint is 1 inch = feet, what are the dimensions of the island on the blueprint?

Answer:

so assuming 1 3/4 feet by feet means 1 3/4 feet by 1 foot,

island actual dimentions=1 3/4 feet by 1 foot

scale=1 inch=1 feet

logically, blueprints are smaller so for every real foot, 1 inch is drawn on the scale

so change every foot to inch

so the island on the blueprint=1 3/4 inch by 1 inch

Explanation:

this is for 7 not 8 just switch up the numbers
