Question

Janie designed a miniature couch for a dollhouse based on her own couch. Janie's couch is feet long. The scale of the dollhouse is 1 inch : 2 feet. What is the length of the miniature couch for the dollhouse?

Answer 1

If 1 inch on the dollhouse represents 2 feet, then for every inch on the dollhouse, the miniature couch will be 2:1. In other words, it will be twice as long. Thus, the length of the miniature couch for the dollhouse is 2 * 1 = <<2*1=2>>2 inches. Answer: \boxed{2}.
