A living room has a length of 18.25 feet and a width of 12 1/2 feet. What would those dimensions be on the architectural drawings, if the scale of 1 ft = 1/4 inch is used? (your answers should be given in 16ths of an inch)
if 1 foot = 1/4 inch, then
18.25 feet = 1/4(18.25) or 4 9/16 inches
12.5 feet = 1/4(12.5) or 3 1/8 inches
Argghh! Go metric !
3/ 1/8 is not in 16th how do i get it to 16th
how would i find these with those answers :
How many square feet are there? square feet (ROUND to the nearest WHOLE foot)
If we added 10 % additional for waste, how many square feet should be ordered?
1/8 = 2/16
area = length x width
= 18.25 x 12.5 = 228.125 square feet
or 228 square feet in whole numbers
10% of 228 square feet is 22.8 square feet
so the total is 228 + 23 = 251 square feet.
I got 228 ft squared
and 251 feet should be ordered
Is this right
To determine the dimensions on the architectural drawings, we need to apply the given scale of 1 ft = 1/4 inch.
First, let's convert the length and width of the living room into inches.
Length: 18.25 feet * 12 inches/foot = 219 inches
Width: 12.5 feet * 12 inches/foot = 150 inches
Next, we will convert these measurements into sixteenths of an inch, since the answers should be in that format.
Length: 219 inches * 16 sixteenths/inch = 3504 sixteenths of an inch
Width: 150 inches * 16 sixteenths/inch = 2400 sixteenths of an inch
Therefore, the dimensions on the architectural drawings would be:
Length: 3504 sixteenths of an inch
Width: 2400 sixteenths of an inch
