Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Scale\ length = 8ft$

Required

Determine the scale of the drawing

The question is incomplete, as the actual width of the kitchen is not given. The general explanation, however, is as follows:

The scale of a drawing is represented as:

$Scale = Scale\ Measurement : Actual\ Measurement$

This gives:

$Scale = 8ft : Actual$

Assume the actual length of the kitchen is 24ft.

The equation becomes:

$Scale = 8ft : 24ft$

Divide by 8ft

$Scale = 8ft/8ft : 24ft/8ft$

$Scale = 1 : 3$
