The height in the plan will be
inches.

Answer 1

If 2 inches on the plan is equivalent to 11 inches on the actual toy house, then we can set up a proportion to find the height on the plan:

2 inches on plan / 11 inches on toy house = x inches on plan / 35.75 inches on toy house

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

(2/11) * 35.75 = x

6.5 = x

Therefore, the height on the plan will be 6.5 inches.
