Question

Rose has made this scale drawing of her house. If her house is actually 56 feet wide, then the scale of her drawing is

A) 1 inch = 12 feet.

B) 1 inch = 16 feet.

C) 1 inch = 20 feet.

D) 1 inch = 24 feet.

Answer 1

1 inch = 16 feet

Explanation:

Divide 56 by 3.5 to get the answer.

Answer 2

B) 1 inch = 16 feet

Explanation:

Given that her house is exactly 56 feet wide and that we do not now any other measurement she has clearly draw her house to be 3.5 inches wide

If 1 inch = 16 feet

3 * 16 feet = 48 feet

48 feet is a 8 feet short from 56 feet

and exactly 16 / 2 = 8

So the most logical would be that she drew the width of her house to be 3.5 inches.
