WILL MARK BRAINLIEST An architect is drafting a scale drawing of a house for an upcoming project. The customer wants the front of the house to measure 60 feet long.

In your final answer, include all of your calculations.

Answer 1

Answer:

60 ft  is 720 in. I did 720/15...that equals 48. At this point i think each in in the drawing is a foot, so every one in is 48 ft.

Answer 2

Answer:

The scale factor is 1/48

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to convert 60 feet to inches.

60 feet = 720 inches

Then, we divide 720 by 15

720/15= 48.

The scale factor is 1/48.
