Question

The rectangular floor of a classroom is 38 feet in length and 30 feet in width. A scale drawing of the floor has a length of 19 inches. What is the perimeter, in inches, of the floor in the scale drawing?

Answer 1

68

The scale drawing is dividing everything by 2. So, the length is 19, and the width is 15. Then, you add 19 and 15 twice. So, the answer is 68.
