On a scale drawing, a bookshelf is 8 inches tall. The scale factor is 1/8. What is the height of the bookshelf?

lukranit [14]

8 inches = 1/8 of the real height of the book shelf
Multiply 8 by 8 because the question shows 1/8 of the book shelf
8x8=64
The book shelf is 64 inches.
Or 5 feet and 4 inches.
