Question

A scale drawing of a living room has a scale of 1.75 inches = 1.5 feet. How long is a wall that measures 14 inches in the scale drawing?
answers are
20 ft
12 ft
14 ft
16 ft

Answer 1

First you need to find 14/1.75

Answer 2

Yes. Once you find that out you can then convert it to feet because now you are following the rule using 1.75 inches.

Answer 3

That will tell you how many 1.75 inch segments are in 14 feet (since you only know 1.75 in = 1.5 ft)
