the office space are 40 meters in width and 60 meters in length. You decide to create a scale drawing with a scale factor of 1:8. If the width of your scale drawing represents the actual width of the office space, what is the length of your scale drawing?
The scale factor of 1:8 means that every measurement on the scale drawing is 1/8th of the actual measurement. Therefore, if the width of the scale drawing represents the actual width of the office space, the length of the scale drawing will represent 1/8th of the actual length.
Since the actual length of the office space is 60 meters, the length of the scale drawing will be 1/8 * 60 = 7.5 meters.
