Question

A blueprint for a house shows the height of the house to be 3 1/4 inches. The actual house is 21 1/3 feet tall. What is the unit rate in feet per inch
feet per inch?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 22/39

Step-by-step explanation:

21 and 1/3÷3 and 1/4=64/3÷13/4

=64/3×4/13

=256/23

=6 and 22/39

Answer 2

Answer:

6$\frac{22}{39}$ or $\frac{256}{39}$ feet per inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Yeah. This is a question about scaling.

Basically, it's asking how many feet (in real life) are being represented by one inch in the blueprint.

You solve it by dividing the height of the actual house by the height of the blueprint. And, since the actual house is in feet, and the blueprint is in inches, your answer will be in feet per inches.

Does that help?
