Question

Fill in the scale dimensions in the table to the nearest thousandth. The scale of a blueprint is 1/4 inch = 1 foot. A house has 1 bedroom measuring 10 feet 6 inches by 11 feet, a living room measuring 25 feet by 18 feet 8 inches, a kitchen measuring 13 feet 6 inches by 8 feet, and a dining room measuring 12 feet by 10 feet. Put the shortest length in the first box for each room. Give all answers to three decimal places (thousandths place).
bedroom inches by inches
living room inches by inches
kitchen inches by inches
dining room inches by inches

Answer 1

Since  1' = 12'', so the scale 1/4'' to 1' is 1/4'' to 12'', or, multiplying both sides by 4, 1 to 48. 

Convert all dimensions given from foot/inches to inches, then scale them down, dividing by 48. 
10ft 6in=10*12+6=126+6=132 dividing by 48. 132/48=2.75/48=0.0572*1000=57.2 inches 
18' 8'' = 18 * 12 + 8 inches = 216 + 8 = 224 inches. Dividing by 48: 224/48 = 4 32/48 = 4 2/3 inch*1000=66.6
