The balcony of an apartment is 4 feet by 7 feet. On a scale drawing of the apartment, the balcony is 0.8 inch by 1.4 inches, and the kitchen is 2.4 inches by 2.8 inches.
First you must find the scale. Divide 4 by 0.8. You get 5. Divide 7 by 1.4. That also gives you 5. This means the scale drawing is 5 times smaller than the real dimensions.
On the scale drawing, the kitchen is 2.4 by 2.8 inches. All you have to do is multiply both of these by 5 and change it to feet. 2.4 x 5 = 12 2.8 x 5 = 14 So the dimensions of the kitchen are 12 feet by 14 feet.
