Question

Robert drew a plan of a kitchen at a scale of 1 inch to 8 feet on his drawing one side of the kitchen is 3.75 inches what is the actual measurement of that side of the kitchen

Answer 1

The relation between the scale and the real kitchen is:

$1\colon8$

so each inch represent 8 feet, so now we can multiply bout number for 3.75 so:

$\begin{gathered} 3.75(1)\colon3.75(8) \\ 3.75\colon30 \end{gathered}$

so the messure of 3.75 inches represent 30 feet in the real mesurement
