Preston drew a blueprint of an additional room he is planning to add to his house. On the blueprint, 1 centimeter is equal to 4 feet in the actual room. If Preston wants the room to measure 12 feet by 16 feet, what are these dimensions on the blueprint?

Answer 1

To find the dimensions on the blueprint, we need to convert the actual room dimensions to centimeters using the scale of 1 cm = 4 ft.

For the width:
12 feet = 12 ft * 4 cm/ft = 48 cm

For the length:
16 feet = 16 ft * 4 cm/ft = 64 cm

Therefore, the dimensions on the blueprint are 48 cm by 64 cm.
