Question

You want to produce a scale drawing of your living room, which is 24 ft by 15 ft. If you use a scale of 4 in. = 6 ft, what will be the dimensions of your scale drawings

Answer 1

4 inches = 6 ft

24 ft = (24/6 = 4....4 * 4 = 16)....so 24 ft = 16 inches
15 ft = (15/6 = 2.5.....2.5 * 4 = 10)....so 15 ft = 10 inches

so the dimensions are : 16 inches by 10 inches
