In looking over the blueprint of a job, you see that 1/4" represents 1 foot. If the garage length is 28 feet, and the width is 16 feet, what would be the dimensions on the blueprint in inches?

Divide the dimensions by 4.

To find the dimensions on the blueprint in inches, we need to convert the actual dimensions in feet to inches.

We know that on the blueprint, 1/4" represents 1 foot.

First, let's find the length on the blueprint in inches:
Length on blueprint = Length in feet * Conversion factor
Length on blueprint = 28 feet * (1/4)" per foot

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together:
Length on blueprint = 28 feet * (1/4)"
Length on blueprint = 7"

So, the length on the blueprint would be 7 inches.

Next, let's find the width on the blueprint in inches:
Width on blueprint = Width in feet * Conversion factor
Width on blueprint = 16 feet * (1/4)" per foot
Width on blueprint = 4"

Therefore, the dimensions on the blueprint for the garage would be 7 inches by 4 inches.
