Ashe measured a hotel and made a scale drawing. The scale he used was 1 inch = 4 feet. The actual length of a room in the hotel is 20 feet. how long is the room in the drawing?
To find the length of the room in the drawing, we can use the scale factor of 1 inch = 4 feet.
If the actual length of the room is 20 feet, we can set up a proportion to find the length in the drawing:
20 feet = x inches (length in drawing)
1 inch = 4 feet
Solving for x, we get:
20 feet / 4 feet = x inches
x = 5 inches
Therefore, the length of the room in the drawing is 5 inches.
