Question

Joe made the drawing of his bedroom. The bedroom measures 3.25 inches by 4.75 inches on the drawing. What is the perimeter of his actual bedroom if the drawing has a scale of 1 inch : 4 feet?

Answer 1

Answer:

64 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the drawing is

2(3.25 in. + 4.75 in.) = 16 in.

Now we use the scale to find the real perimeter.

1 in. : 4 ft

16 * 1 in. : 16 * 4 ft

16 in. : 64 ft

The real perimeter is 64 ft.
