B. 18 in by 16.5 in

C. 0.5 in by 0.4 in

D. 10 in by 9 in

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A. is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Charlie is making a scale model of his kitchen.

The kitchen measures 12 feet by 11 feet.

We can use the unitary method to get the scale measures.

Since his scale is 3 feet = 2 inches.

So 1 feet = $\frac{2}{3}$ inches

and 12 feet = $\frac{(2)(12)}{3} = 8$ inches

Similarly 11 feet = $\frac{(11)(2)}{3}=7.3$ inches

Therefore, scale measures of the kitchen will be = 8 in by 7.3 in

Option A. is the correct answer.
