Question

Jodie has a rectangular room with dimensions
6 feet 8 inches × 12 feet. Jodie decided to draw a rectangular sketch of her room with dimensions 5 inches × 9 inches. Is her sketch similar to her actual room?

Answer 1

1feet = 12inches
6feet=12*6=72inches
6feet 8inches=72+8=80inches

now for the ordinate, 12feet=12*12=144inches

now to check if 5in*9in is in proportion with 80in*144in

80/5 should be equal to 144/9 which is not the case so they are not in proporition anf this her sketch is not similar to her actual room

Answer 2

it yes

Answer 3

80-5=75 and 144-9=135
75 is divisible by 5 and 135 is divisible by 9..so the ans is yes

Answer 4

sorry i cant xplain coz m confused myself.. lol..XD

Answer 5

Following from deeprony7:
80/5 = 16
144/9=16
hence 80/5=144/9 yes it's proportional which means it is similar =D
