Question

Brett made a scale drawing of a rectangular room in his house.

The actual length of the room is 12 4/5 ft. The scale used to make the
drawing was 1/4 in. = 1 ft. What is the length, in inches, of the room
on the drawing?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Length of the room = 12 4/5 ft = 12.8 ft

Scale is 0.25 inches = 1 ft.

This means that every 1ft is shown as 1/4 inch on the map.

To find what 12 4/5ft on the map, you would multiply 12.8 by 0.25.

12.8 x 0.25 = 3.2 inches
