Question

A contractor uses a scale drawing of an office floor to determine the amount of carpet he needs to buy.

A diagram shows a rectangular floor whose width is 6.4 inches.


The width in the scale drawing of the office floor is 6.4 inches. What is the actual width of the office floor?

A.
720 feet
B.
121.5 feet
C.
288.8 feet
D.
115.2 feet

Answer 1

To determine the actual width of the office floor from the scale drawing, we need the scale ratio that connects the dimensions in the drawing to the real-world dimensions. However, the scale ratio is not provided in your question.

If you can provide the scale, I would be happy to help you calculate the actual width of the office floor using the provided options. Please let me know the scale used for the drawing!
