A scale drawing of a kitchen is shown below. The scale is 1 : 20. A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled 4 inches. The width of the rectangle is labeled 5 inches. Show your work to determine the area of the room in square feet.

Okay. If scale is 1:20. That means for every inch in drawing, it's 20 actually in room. So multiply the length and width by 20.

OpenStudy (nikki_skellington):

so 4 times 20 and 5 times 20?

OpenStudy (nikki_skellington):

80 and 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea. Then divide by 12 to get feet.

OpenStudy (nikki_skellington):

will the answer be 48?
