Question

An architectural drawing lists the scale as 1/4" = 1'. If a bedroom measures 1.5" by 2.25" on the drawing, how large is the bedroom?A. 12 ft by 18 ftB. 12 ft by 15 ftC. 6 ft by 9 ftD. 10 ft by 15 ft

Answer 1

The scale is 1/4 in = 1 ft

Therefore, 1.5" is converted to 1.5*4 ft = 6 ft and 2.25" is converted to 2.25*4 ft = 9 ft

The bedroom has dimensions 6 ft by 9 ft (option C).
