A model house has a window that is 8 inches wide and 10 inches long. The actual house window is 6 times bigger. how many feet is the length and width of the window?
To find the length and width of the actual house window, we can start by determining the dimensions of the model house window and then scaling them up by a factor of 6.
The model house window has a width of 8 inches and a length of 10 inches. To scale up these dimensions, multiply each by 6.
Width of actual window = 8 inches * 6 = 48 inches
Length of actual window = 10 inches * 6 = 60 inches
Now we have the dimensions of the actual window in inches. To convert them to feet, we divide each dimension by 12, since there are 12 inches in a foot.
Width of actual window in feet = 48 inches / 12 = 4 feet
Length of actual window in feet = 60 inches / 12 = 5 feet
Therefore, the length of the actual house window is 5 feet and the width is 4 feet.
