Question

Joseph's workshop is 12 feet by 7 feet. If the drawing of the workshop has a scale of 1inch = 2 feet, what are the dimensions of the drawing? (enter your answer with a comma separating the two numbers)​

Answer 1

6, 3.5.

Explanation:

Start with the 12 foot measurement. 1 inch of the drawing represents 2 feet, so divide 12 feet by 2 to find out how many inches represent 12 feet. 12/2 is 6. Do the same with the 7 foot measurement. 7/2 is 3.5, so the drawing of the 7 foot side will be 3.5 inches.
