Question

In Lin's drawing, the scale is 5 inches = 8 feet, and the back wall of the lab measures

Answer 1

Answer:

1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

scale: 5 in. = 8 ft

Back wall scale measurement: 15 in.

Back wall real measurement: 15 in. × 8 ft / 5 in. = 24 ft

Each workstation measures 4 ft.

5 workstations measure 5 × 4 ft = 20 ft

24 ft - 20 ft = 4 ft

When you place 5 workstations, the outer two will be at the ends of the 24-ft wall. There will be 4 spaces between the workstations.

4 ft / 4 = 1 ft

Answer: 1 ft
