Question

A game room has a floor that is 175 feet by 30 feet. A scale drawing of the floor on grid paper uses a scale of 2 units:5 feet. What are the dimensions of the scale drawing? Enter your answer as length by width

Answer 1

70 units by 12 units

Explanation:

To find the drawing size, multiply the actual dimensions by the scale factor.

(175 ft) × (2 units)/(5 ft) = (175·2/5) units = 70 units

(30 ft) × (2 units)/(5 ft) = (30·2/5) units = 12 units

The drawing size is 70 units by 12 units.
