blueprints of a house are drawn to the scale of 1/4 in:1 ft. A kitchen measures 3.5 in by 5 in on the blueprints. What is the actual size of the kitchen

Answer 1

Answer:

The actual size of the kitchen is 14 feet by 20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given scale factor of blueprints of a house as 1/4 in : 1 ft.

That is 1 inch = 1×4 feet = 4 feet.

The measure of kitchen 3.5 in by 5 in on the blueprints.

Therefore,  actual length of the 3.5 inches kitchen on the blueprint = 3.5 × 4 = 14 feet.

And actual width of the 5 inches kitchen on the blueprint = 5 × 4 = 20 feet.

Therefore, the actual size of the kitchen is 14 feet by 20 feet.
