Question

An architectural drawing lists the scale as 1/4" = 1'. If a bedroom measures 6 3/4" by 4 1/2" on the drawing, how large is the bedroom? Please Help! (No other information was given.)

Answer 1

1 inch = four 1/4’s

1 inch = 4 feet

6 X 4 = 24 feet

3/4 inches = 3 feet.

6 3/4 inches = 27 feet

4 x 4 = 16

1/2 inch = 2 feet

4 1/2 inches = 18 feet

Room is 27 feet x 18 feet
