Question

A game room has a floor that is 120 feet by 75 feet. A scale drawing of the floor on grid paper uses a scale of 1 unit:5 feet. What are the dimensions of the scale drawing

Answer 1

Length: 24 units

1:5
24:120

Width: 15 units

1:5
15:75

Answer 2

For this case, what we should keep in mind is the following scale factor:

1 unit = 5 feet

We apply the scale factor to each of the dimensions.

We have then:

For 120 feet:

$\frac{120}{5} = 24 units$

For 75 feet:

$\frac{75}{5} = 15 units$

Therefore, the dimensions in the drawing are given by:

24 units by 15 units

Answer:

The dimensions of the scale drawing are:

24 units by 15 units
