Using a ruler to draw a square with a perimeter of 48ft, and using the scale 6ft=1/2in (Hint: to find the length of each side, divide 48ft by 4). How should this problem look?

Answer 1

Taking their hint, each side of the actual square is 12 ft
but 6 ft are represented by 1/2 inch on your paper, so
12 ft have to represented by 1 inch on your paper

I see a square of 1 inch by 1 inch
