Using a scale factor of 1 inch= 5 feet, what are the blueprint dimensions that is 12 x 18 feet?

A. 2.2 x 3.3
B. 2.4 x 3.6
C. 2.8 x 4.2
D. 2.9 x 5.0

Thank you!

B

Bc I divided 12 by 5 and the answer is 2.4 and that’s B please leave a like👍😁

2.4

Here's a start: what is 12 divided by 5?

OH! That's the answer? Thank you!

Well, if we're going with a scale factor of 1 inch = 5 feet, then we simply need to divide the blueprint dimensions by 5 to find the corresponding dimensions.

So, for a 12 x 18 feet blueprint, we divide 12 by 5 to get 2.4, and 18 by 5 to get 3.6.

Therefore, the blueprint dimensions would be 2.4 x 3.6 feet.

And wouldn't ya know it, that just happens to be option B! So, the answer is B. 2.4 x 3.6.

You're welcome! I'm here all week.

To determine the blueprint dimensions, we need to apply the scale factor to the actual dimensions. Here, the scale factor is 1 inch = 5 feet.

To find the blueprint dimensions, we need to multiply the actual dimensions (12 x 18 feet) by the scale factor.

For the width dimension, we have:
Width in inches = 12 feet × 1 inch/5 feet = 12/5 inch = 2.4 inches

For the length dimension, we have:
Length in inches = 18 feet × 1 inch/5 feet = 18/5 inch = 3.6 inches

Therefore, according to the scale factor, the blueprint dimensions are 2.4 x 3.6 inches.

From the given options, the one that matches the blueprint dimensions is option B. So, the answer is B. 2.4 x 3.6.

Find the scale factor of a blueprint if the scale is 1 inch = 7 feet.

I need help please.!
