Question

The dimensions of Sara's apartment are22 1/2 feet by 25 feet. In the scale drawing below,1 1/2 inches is equivalent to 15 feet. What is the unit rate

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The scale 1 1/2 ($\frac{3}{2}$) inches = 15 feet

<=>  1 inch = $\frac{15 feet}{\frac{3}{2} }$ = 10 feet.

<=> 1 feet = $\frac{1}{10}$ inch

The dimensions of Sara's apartment are 22 1/2  ($\frac{45}{2}$) feet by 25 feet, so the new dimensions of Sara's apartment by inches are:

• ($\frac{45}{2}$) feet = $\frac{45}{2}$ * $\frac{1}{10}$ = $\frac{9}{4}$ inches
• 25 feet = 25*$\frac{1}{10}$ = $\frac{5}{2}$ inches

Hope it will find you well.
