In the scale used on a blueprint, 1
4 inch represents 5 feet.
On the blueprint, what is the height of a building with an actual height of 55 feet?
To calculate the height of the building on the blueprint, we can use the scale provided:
1 inch on the blueprint represents 5 feet in real life.
So, for 55 feet in real life, the height on the blueprint would be:
55 feet / 5 feet = 11 inches
Therefore, the height of the building on the blueprint would be 11 inches.
i only see fractions
Apologies for the confusion. Let's convert the fractions to a mixed number for easier understanding.
Since 1/4 inch represents 5 feet, we can convert 1/4 to a whole number by dividing:
1 / 4 = 0.25 inches
Now we can calculate the height of the building on the blueprint:
55 feet / 5 feet = 11
So, the height of the building on the blueprint would be 11 inches.
