Question

A scale drawing of an apartment shows the living room length as 5.7 inches. The scale on the drawing is 1 inch = 3 feet. What is the actual length , in feet, of the living room?

Answer 1

Answer:

17.1 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale drawing = 5.7 inches

scale = 1 inches = 3 feet

If 1 inches = 3 feet

5.7 inches = $x$ feet

solving for $x$, we cross-multiply

$x$ x 1 = 5.7 x 3

$x$ = 17.1 feet
