In a scale drawing of a house, 1/2 inch = 1 1/2 feet. If the length of a kitchen is 5 1/2 inches on a scale drawing, what is the actual length of the kitchen?

Respuesta :

Answer:

16 1/2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The above question is calculated as:

1/2 inch = 1 1/2 feet.

5 1/2 inches = x

Cross Multiply

1/2 inch × x = 5 1/2 inch × 1 1/2 feet

x = 5 1/2 inch × 1 1/2 feet/ 1/2 inch

x = 11/2 × 3/2 ÷ 1/2

x = 11/2 × 3/2 × 2/1

x = 33/2 feet

x = 16 1/2 feet

Therefore, the actual length of the kitchen is 16 1/2 feet
