Question

A blue print for a building includes a rectangular room that measures 3 inches long and 5.5 inches wide. The scale for the blueprint says that 1 inch on the blueprint is equivalent to 10 feet in the actual building. What are the dimensions of this rectangular room in the actual building?

Answer 1

3 inches long and 5.5 inches wide.....1 inch = 10 ft

3 inches = (3 * 10) = 30 ft long <==
5.5 inches = (5.5 * 10) = 55 ft wide <==

Answer 2

Length= 30 feet, breadth = 55 feet.

Explanation:

Length of building in blue print= 3 inches

Breadth of building in blue print= 5.5 inches

It is given that 1 inch on the blue print is equivalent to 10 feet in actual building

We have to convert the dimensions

So Length of building in blue print in feet= 3 inches= 3×10=30 feet

Breadth of building in blue print in feet= 5.5 inches= 5.5×10= 55 feet

Hence the correct answer is Length= 30 feet, breadth = 55 feet.
