The Tee Ridder Miniature Museum has miniatures where 1 inch = 3 feet. If their model of a historical bedroom has a width of 30 inches, what is the width of the actual bedroom?
A.
10 feet
B.
90 feet
C.
36 feet
D.
16 feet
A. 10 feet
To find the actual width of the bedroom, we need to convert the width of the model from inches to feet using the scale of 1 inch = 3 feet.
30 inches * (1 foot / 12 inches) * 3 feet = 7.5 feet
Therefore, the actual width of the bedroom is 7.5 feet, which is closest to 10 feet.
