Question

2. On a blueprint for a new building, 2 inches = 8 feet. The height of the building on the

blueprint is 9 inches. What is the actual height of the building?


​

Answer 1

The actual height of the building = 36 feet.

Explanation:

By blue print conversion,

2 inches = 8 feet

Therefore, 1 inch =
`(8)/(2)` = 4 feet

1 inch = 4 feet

The height of the building on the blueprint = 9 inches

The actual height of the building = 9 * 4 = 36 feet.
