Question

The rectangular floor of a classroom is 36 feet in length and 27 feet in width.A scale drawing of the floor has a length of 12 inches.What is the area, in square inches, of the floor in the scale drawing?

Answer 1

The area of the scale drawing is 108 square inches.

I know this because I divided 36 by 13 to get 3. Then I took 27/3 and got 9. So I knew that the scale drawing was 9 by 12 and so then I just multiplied 9 by 12 and got 108
