1.75 ft by 2 ft
1.5 ft by 2 ft
2 ft by 2 ft

Answer 2

An inch on the floor plan is 6 feet in real life.
So 1/4 inch = 6/4 feet = 1.5 feet
1/3 inch = 6/3 feet = 2 feet

Answer 3

You get it ?

Answer 4

yes thank you

Answer 5

1 in = 6 ft

\[\frac{ 1 ~inch}{ 6~ft } = 1\]

so you can multiply your dimensions by that ratio, same as multiplying by 1, so the units work out correctly

Answer 6

\[\frac{ 1/4~inch }{ 1 } *\frac{ 6~ft }{ 1~inch} = \]

Answer 7

inches cancel, left with ft
