<em><u>The equation can be used to find the actual length of Gregory's room is:</u></em>

\frac{1\ cm}{4\ feet } = \frac{3\ cm }{x\ feet }

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

The scale that he uses is:

1 cm : 4 feet

On this drawing, the room is 3 cm long

Let "x" be the actual length of room

Therefore,

1 cm : 4 feet

3 cm : "x" feet

This forms a proportion. Therefore,

\frac{1\ cm}{4\ feet } = \frac{3\ cm }{x\ feet }

Therefore, Option C is correct

Given that,

Rob chose A as the correct answer. Which is,

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{x}{3}

But option A is wrong

So, Rob made a mistake in measuring the equivalent ratio, it should be \frac{1\ cm}{4\ feet } = \frac{3\ cm }{x\ feet }
