Question

The following blueprint of a kitchen has dimensions of 7 inches by 7 inches. The island has been highlighted in red 3 1/2 The island's actual dimensions are 1 3/4 feet by feet. If the scale of the blueprint is 1 inch = feet, what are the dimensions of the island on the blueprint? please explain how you did it! :)

Answer 1

So assuming 1 3/4 feet by feet means 1 3/4 feet by 1 foot,

island actual dimentions=1 3/4 feet by 1 foot

scale=1 inch=1 feet
logically, blueprints are smaller so for every real foot, 1 inch is drawn on the scale
so change every foot to inch

so the island on the blueprint=1 3/4 inch by 1 inch
