Samantha's dollhouse is built on a scale where 1 inch = 4 feet. She bought a miniature rug that is 5 inches long. If this were a real rug, what would its length be?
First, we need to determine the real-life length of the rug by converting the dollhouse scale to real-life scale.
In the dollhouse scale, 1 inch represents 4 feet. So, to convert this to real-life scale, we need to multiply the length of the miniature rug by 4.
5 inches x 4 feet/inch = 20 feet
Therefore, if this were a real rug, its length would be 20 feet.
