Question

A blueprint for a house has a scale factor = 10. A wall in the blueprint is 8 in. What is the length of the actual wall?

Answer 1

Answer: 6.67 feet (check to see if you made a typo)

Step-by-step explanation:

if the scale factor is ten than we multiply 8 by 10

8 * 10 = 80

important to remember this is 80 INCHES not 80 FEET

to convert 80 inches into feet, we divide by 12 because there are 12 inches in a foot

80/12 = 6.67 feet

check to make sure that the first option is actually 6.67 inches because it would make more sense for it to be in feet
