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?
12.8 * 0.25 = 3.2 = 3 1/5 inches
12.8*0.25=3.2 or 3 1/5
12.8*0.25=3.2=3 1/5 FEET
thank you so much i was stuck on this problem for 15 minutes
12.8*0.25 would equal 3.2 which equals 3 1/5 feet. So your final answer should be 3 1/5
To find the length of the room on the drawing, we need to convert the actual length of the room to inches using the scale provided.
First, let's convert the actual length of the room from feet to inches:
12 4/5 ft = (12 + 4/5) ft = 12.8 ft
Now, we'll use the scale of 1/4 in. = 1 ft to convert the length from feet to inches:
12.8 ft * (1/4 in./1 ft) = 12.8 * (1/4) inches = 3.2 inches
Therefore, the length of the room on the drawing is 3.2 inches.
