A floor plan is given for the first floor of a new house. One inch represents 12 feet. If the walk-in closet is 1/4 in. by 1/3 in. on the floor plan, what are the actual dimensions? (Round to the nearest hundredth)

Question

anonymous · Answer

Since 1in=12 ft we can find the dimensions like this
$\large(\frac{1}{4})12~x~(\frac{1}{3})12$

anonymous · Answer

Can you calculate those values?

tkhunny · Answer

Multiply by 1.

$\dfrac{1}{4}\;in \cdot \dfrac{12\;ft}{1\;in}\;=\;$??

Units are wonderful things.  They WILL save you.

Yes they are, I was just being lazy. Sorry!

No worries.   Being formal and fancy doesn't help, either, if we don't hear from the OP.
