Question

Tim wants to model a dollhouse from a real house that measures 60 feet in length by 28 feet in width. He decides to use a scale in which 1/4 inch equals 1 foot. What will the dimensions of his model be?1. What will be the length of the longer side of Tim's model? inches
2. What will be the length of the shorter side of Tim's model? inches

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

1/4 inch = 1 foot

Therefore,

Length of the longer side = 60 foot

= 0.25 × 60

= 15 inches.

2.

1/4 inch = 1 foot

Therefore,

Length of the shorter side = 28 foot

= 0.25 × 28

= 7 inches.
