What is Unit conversion?

Unit conversion is a way of converting some common units into another without changing their real value. for, example, 1 centimeter is equal to 10 mm, though the real measurement is still the same the units and numerical values have been changed.

Given that the ratio of the paper cutting to the real room is 1/2 inches = 1 foot, which means that if the dimensions in the paper are 1/2inches then the real measurement is 1 foot.

1/2 inches = 1 foot

0.5 inhces = 1 foot

1 inch = 1/0.5 foot = 2 foot

Also, the dimensions of the desk are 1 1/4 inches by 2 1/4 inches. Therefore, the real dimensions of the desk will be,

1 1/4 inches = 1.25 inches = 1.25 × 2 = 2.5 feet

2 1/4 inches = 2.25 inches = 2.25 × 2 = 4.50 feet

Hence, the actual dimensions of Chelsa's desk are 2.5 feet by 4.50 feet.
