Ashe measured a hotel and made a scale drawing. The scale he used was 1 inch = 4 feet. The actual length of a room in the hotel is 20 feet. how long is the room in the drawing?

Answer 1

To find the length of the room in the drawing, we can use the scale factor of 1 inch = 4 feet.

If the actual length of the room is 20 feet, we can set up a proportion to find the length in the drawing:

20 feet = x inches (length in drawing)

1 inch = 4 feet

Solving for x, we get:

20 feet / 4 feet = x inches
x = 5 inches

Therefore, the length of the room in the drawing is 5 inches.
