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

24 by 15 units

Explanation:

This is one of those portions problems.

For this problem, I would keep in mind that 120 and 75 are measured in FEET.

1 unit on the paper is 5 feet

All you would have to do it divide 120/5 which is 24 and 75/5 which is 15.

Sooo the dimensions of the drawing are 24 units (NOT FEET, just units) by 15 units.
