Question

Using a scale factor of 1 inch = 16 feet, what are the blueprint dimensions of a room that is 20 feet x 28 feet?

A. 1.5 in x 2.5 in

D. 1.5 in x 1.75 in

Could anybody tell me how to solve this problem, please? I really need help.

Answer 1

One way to solve it is with proportions.

1/16 = x/20
16x = 20
x = 20/16 = 1.25

Take it from there.
