Question

The room measures 8 inches by 5 inches on the blueprint. If the scale on the blueprint is 1 inch by 4 feet, what is the actual area of the room

Answer 1

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to multiply each number by 4 ft.

8×4=32
5×4=20

Now, we films the area.

32×20 = 640

The area of the room is 640 feet squared.

Hope this helps!
