Answer 1

The dimension of the drawer is 2 inches by 2.5 inches

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the dimension of the living room

Mathematically, the scale to be used is;

3/4 inches to 6 feet

So let’s calculate the dimensions now;

3/4 inches is 6 feet

x inches will be 16 feet

3/4 * 16 = 6 * x

12 = 6x

x = 12/6 = 2 inches

For the 20 feet;

3/4 inches = 6 feet

x inches = 20 feet

3/4 * 20 = 6 * x

6x = 15

x = 15/6

x = 5/2 = 2.5 inches
