A 1 inch = 12 feet.1 inch = 12 feet.
B 1 inch = 16 feet.1 inch = 16 feet.
C 1 inch = 20 feet.1 inch = 20 feet.
D 1 inch = 24 feet.1 inch = 24 feet.
E 1 inch = 9 feet.
B 1 inch = 16 feet.
To determine the scale of the drawing, we need to look at how many feet are represented by 1 inch. Since Rose's house is 56 feet wide in real life, we need to find the scale that when multiplied by the width of the house in the drawing (in inches) equals 56 feet.
If 1 inch = 16 feet, then 56 feet / 16 = 3.5 inches, which is the width of the house on the scale drawing. This means that each inch on the drawing represents 16 feet in real life.
