3 answers

1/4 inch = 1 foot
1/2 inch = 2 feet
3/4 inch = _____ feet

Area = L * W
1 ft = 12 in

Scale factor:

1 ft / 1 / 4 in = 12 in / 1 / 4 in = 12 in / 0.25 in = 48

1 / 2 in βˆ™ 48 = 24 in = 2 ft

3 / 4 in βˆ™ 48 = 0.75 βˆ™ 48 = 36 in = 3 ft

The bedroom closet will measure 2 ft by 3 ft
nothing
