on a given blueprint, 1in =16ft. if the dimensions of the bedrooms on the blueprint are 0.75 inches times 1.5 inches, what are its actual measurements?
16ft x 32ft
12ft x 24ft
16ft x 24ft
12ft x 32ft
(16 ft / 1 inch) or (1 inch/16 ft)
same top and bottom so multiplication does not change size, only words.
multiply so units cancel
so
0.75 in (16 ft/1 in) = 12 ft
1.5 in is twice as big 1.5 in (16 ft/1 in) = 24 ft
B) 12 ft x 24 ft
To determine the actual measurements of the bedrooms, we can use the scale given on the blueprint, which states that 1 inch on the blueprint represents 16 feet in reality.
The dimensions of the bedrooms on the blueprint are 0.75 inches times 1.5 inches.
To find the actual length and width of the bedroom, we need to multiply the blueprint dimensions (0.75 inches and 1.5 inches) by the scale factor (16 feet per inch).
For the length:
0.75 inches x 16 feet/inch = 12 feet
For the width:
1.5 inches x 16 feet/inch = 24 feet
Therefore, the actual measurements of the bedrooms are 12ft x 24ft.
