Ruth makes a scale drawing of her room.She uses the scale 3/2in:1ft.In the drawing, the dimensions of her room are 18in by 24in.What are the actual dimensions of her room
Answered by Ms. Sue
3/2in ??

Do you mean 1 1/2 inches = 1 foot?


Answered by Daniel
yes ido
Answered by Ms. Sue
One way to solve this problem is with proportions.

1.5/1 = 18/x

Cross multiply:
1.5x = 18
x = 18/1.5
x = 12 feet

Try the second dimension. I'll be glad to check your answer.

Answered by Daniel

Answered by Ms. Sue
Your welcome.

I hope you realize that the room measures 12 feet by 16 feet.
