Question

Elena wants to make a scale drawing of her bedroom. Her bedroom is a rectangle with length 5 m and width 3 m. She decides on a scale of 1 to 50.
Draw and label the dimensions of a scale drawing of Elena’s bedroom, using a scale of 1 to 50.

Elena’s bedroom door is 0.8 m wide. How wide should the door be on the scale drawing? Explain how you know.

Elena’s bed measures 4 cm by 3 cm on the scale drawing. What are the actual measurements of her bed?


PLEASEEE HELP ME I am so stuck on this question

Answer 1

In the scale the bedroom's size would be 10 cm long and 6 cm wide, and the door's width would be 1.6 cm. In turn, the real bed size is 2m by 1.5 m.

Since Elena wants to make a scale drawing of her bedroom, and her bedroom is a rectangle with length 5 m and width 3 m, and Elena's bedroom door is 0.8 m wide, and Elena's bed measures 4 cm and cm on the scale drawing, If the scale is from 1 to 50, to determine the dimensions of the bedroom and door scale, and the actual dimension of the bed, the following cross multiplication calculations must be performed:

• Room size = 10 cm long and 6 cm wide
• 50 = 5
• 1 = X
• 5/50 = X
• 0.1 = X
• 0.1m = 10cm

• 50 = 3
• 1 = X
• 3/50 = X
• 0.06 = X
• 0.06m = 6cm

• Door width = 1.6 cm
• 50 = 0.8
• 1 = X
• 0.8 / 50 = X
• 0.016 = X
• 0.016m = 1.6cm

• Bed size = 2m by 1.5m
• 1 = 4
• 50 = X
• 50 x 4 = X
• 200 = X
• 200 cm = 2 m
• 1 = 3
• 50 = X
• 50 x 3 = X
• 150 = X
• 150cm = 1.5m

Therefore, in the scale the bedroom's size would be 10 cm long and 6 cm wide, and the door's width would be 1.6 cm. In turn, the real bed size is 2m by 1.5 m.
