Question

the dimensions of a porch are 16 feet long by 12 feet wide use the scale 1 inch=4 feet what is the width and length in inches

Answer 1

Hi there!

Since the scale is 1 in = 4 ft, we divide both the length and width by 4 to get the new length and width with the scale factor applied. 

16 / 4 = 4
12 / 4 = 3

So, the
length = 4
width = 3

Hope this helps!
