Question

A garage floor measures 150 feet by 120 feet. A scale drawing of the floor on grid paper uses a scale of 1 unit and 15 feet.What are the dimensions of the drawing

Answer 1

Answer:

The dimensions of the drawing are 10 units by 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:                        

we know that

The scale drawing is $\frac{1}{15}\ \frac{unit}{feet}$

That means ---> 1 unit in the drawing represent 15 feet in the actual

To find out the dimensions of the drawing, multiply the actual dimensions by the scale drawing

so

$150\ ft=150(\frac{1}{15})=10\ units$

$120\ ft=120(\frac{1}{15})=8\ units$

therefore

The dimensions of the drawing are 10 units by 8 units
