A blueprint of an office buliding has a scale of 3/4 inches = 2 feet. what are the dimensions of a storage closet that measures 3 inches by 4.5 inches on the blueprint

Answer 1

Each 3/4 of an inch represents 2 feet

 

 

How many 3/4 inches are there in 3 inches?

3/(3/4) = 3(4/3) = 4

This means there are 4 sets of 3/4 inches, each equaling to 2 ft

4(2) = 8 ft

 

How many 3/4 inches are there in 4.5 inches?

4.5/(3/4) = 4.5/0.75 = 6

There are 6 sets of 3/4 inches in 4.5 inches, each equating to 2 ft

6(2) = 12 ft

 

The storage closet is 8 ft by 12 ft
