Question

An architect’s drawing was drawn so the scale of 1/2 inch represented 6 feet. What was the actual height of a wall marked 4 1/2 inches high?

Answer 1

Ratio remains same

• Let that be x
• 4 -1/2=9/2

$\\ \rm{:}\dashrightarrow 1/2/6=9/2/x$

$\\ \rm{:}\dashrightarrow x/2=27$

$\\ \rm{:}\dashrightarrow x=54ft$
