Julio is using scale models to help remodel his kitchen.
Julio makes a scale drawing of the kitchen floor to determine how many square feet of flooring he needs to buy. The scale of his drawing is 1 inch : 4 feet. What is the actual area of Julio's kitchen floor?
Alright. Thanks.

To find the actual area of Julio's kitchen floor, we need to convert the measurements from the scale drawing to their corresponding actual measurements.
In the scale drawing, 1 inch represents 4 feet. Therefore, to find the actual length and width of the kitchen floor, we multiply the corresponding measurements on the scale drawing by 4.
Let's assume the length of the kitchen floor on the scale drawing is x inches. The actual length would then be 4x feet.
Similarly, if the width of the kitchen floor on the scale drawing is y inches, the actual width would be 4y feet.
The actual area of the kitchen floor is given by the formula: actual area = actual length × actual width.
Substituting the values, the actual area = (4x) × (4y) = 16xy square feet.
Therefore, the actual area of Julio's kitchen floor is 16xy square feet.
you need more information in your problem, how many inches is on your scale drawing? if its only 1 inch then the answer would be....
4 x 4 feet or 4^2 (4 squared)
if your scale drawing is 5 x 5 inches how many feet would the floor actually be?
It would be 20 x 20 feet. This is an example using 1 inch : 4 feet, do you understand how I got 20 X 20 feet?
