Question

A game room has a floor that is 75 feet by 20 feet. A scale drawing of the floor on grid paper uses a scale of 4 units:5 feet. What are the dimensions of the scale drawing?

Answer 1

Answer:

the dimensions of the drawing scale are

60 units by 20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A game room has a floor that is 75 feet by 20 feet

A scale drawing of the floor on grid paper uses a scale of 4 units:5 feet

The length of the drawing scale is

Let actual Length $l = 75$ feet.

actual width $w = 20$ feet.

Drawing $Length=\frac{l}{5} \times 4 units$

Put the actual length in above equation.

Drawing $Length=\frac{75}{5} \times 4 units$

Drawing $Length=15 \times 4$

Drawing $Length=60 units$

The drawing length is 60 units.

For drawing width

Drawing $width=\frac{20}{5} \times 4 units$

Put the actual width in above equation.

Drawing $width=\frac{20}{5} \times 4 units$

Drawing $width=4 \times 4$

Drawing $width=16 units$

The drawing width is 16 units.

Therefore, the dimensions of the drawing scale are

60 units by 16 units
