This is EXACTLY the same problem as I spent 2 hours on with oyu this week and you contributed NOTHING

If you had tried to do that then yu would know how to do this.

Multiply both sides by the scale factor to get the length of the real room in inches

Answer 4

ok sooo... thats the first step? @MrNood

Answer 5

l*w =a or 6*4=24
@MrNood you dont have to be mean about it

Answer 6

Answer 7

20?

Answer 8

Answer 9

thanks for the help @douglas101 but let @MrNood help me :)

Answer 10

ok good luck

Answer 11

It ells you in the drawing the scale is 1:40

this means the drawing is 40 times smaller than the room

so multiply the drawing sizes (6" and 4") by 40 to get the lengths of the sides of the real room

Answer 12

so i have to do 6 x 40 and 4 x 40?

Answer 13

SO

the scale length of the room is 6" means the real length of the room is ?? inches

the scale width of the room is 4 inches means the real width of the room is ?? inches

Answer 14

yes - do what you said above

Answer 15

ok..
6 x 40 = 240
4 x 40 = 160
@MrNood

Answer 16

@MrNood ??

Answer 17

SO

the scale length of the room is 6" means the real length of the room is 240"

the scale width of the room is 4"means the real width of the room is 160"

The area of the room is
length x width

length = 240"
width = 160"

so Area = ??? square inches?

Answer 18

so for area i have to do this..
240 x 160?

Answer 19

Yes - that wil give you the area in square inches

do that first (but it is not quite the answer yet....)

Answer 20

ok its.. 38,400

Answer 21

Correct you need to put in the units:

Area of room = 38400 square inches


but th equestion asks for the answer in square feet

Answer 22

SO

IF you had tiles which were 1" square how many would you need to fill 1 square foot?

12" wide by 12" long
