Question

Mr. Lloyd wants to build a dollhouse for his daughter that is proportional to their house. He measured the living room of his house and it is 12ft by 16 feet. What will be the dimensions of the doll house living room if every foot of the actual house is equal to 1/2 inch in the dollhouse?

Answer 1

48 inches

Explanation:

Every foot is half an inch. So if there is 12 feet then that means there is 6 inches because 12x0.5= 6. 16x0.5= 8, which means 16 feet equals 8 inches. Now that we have the converted measurements we must find out the dimensions of the dollhouse living room. 6 inchx8 inch = 48 inches.
