Question

In the scale used on a blueprint, 14

Answer 1

Answer:

On the scale 24 feet represents 62.06 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given  scale:

14 inch represents 3 feet

Now, covert both the parameter into same length parameter.

1 inch  =  0.08333  feet

⇒14  inch =  14  x 0.08333 = 1.16 feet

or, by conversion  14 inch = 1.16 ft

Hence, on the given scale, (14 inch = 1.16 ft ) represents 3 feet.

Let us assume that  24 feet represents k ft on the scale.

Then by RATIO OF PROPORTIONALITY:

$\frac{1.16}{3} = \frac{24}{k} \implies k = \frac{24 \times 3}{1.16} \\= 62.06$

Hence, on the scale 24 feet represents 62.06 feet.
