Question

the scale on a blueprint for a new apartment is 1 in equals 4 feet if the length of the living room on the blueprint is 6 in, what is going to be the actual length of the living room?

Answer 1

The actual length of the living room is 24 feet.

Explanation:

Scaling

The scaling on a blueprint for an apartment is:

1 inch = 4 feet

This means every 1 inch measured on the blueprint corresponds to 4 feet on the real length of the apartment.

We know the length of the living room in the blueprint is 6 inches, thus the real dimension of the living rooms is:

6 * 4 = 24 feet

The actual length of the living room is 24 feet.
